Section Information
The Global Health section is committed to representing issues related to children across the world and in every setting. Our focus includes clinical care, service delivery and research related to the care of children within the context of global health. Public and global health issues may focus broadly on population-based health issues that impact children, and can include epidemiology, prevention, mitigation and treatment of disease. All study types with rigorous methodology and analysis are welcome, but novel commentaries with relevance to pediatric global health will also be considered.
