Global Health Technologies refer to the innovative tools, systems, and approaches designed to address health challenges that affect populations worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. These technologies are essential for improving access to healthcare, controlling diseases, enhancing public health infrastructure, and ultimately achieving global health equity. They encompass a wide range of solutions, from medical devices and diagnostics to digital health tools, vaccines, and disease prevention technologies.
Global health technologies aim to reduce health disparities, lower healthcare costs, and improve health outcomes on a large scale. With the increasing interconnectedness of the world, these technologies play a crucial role in addressing both emerging and longstanding global health challenges, such as infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), maternal and child health, and access to clean water and sanitation.
