Research in Resource-limited Settings

After long periods of vast child health disparities between industrialized countries and Resource-limited Settings (RLS) a wave of research has started to address and reduce the gap. Major global collaborations have been mutually rewarding and have established funding and career structures unthinkable even 25 years ago. Despite this progress, work remains to ensure academic and funding equity and ethical parity. This paper outlines the background to and history of research in RLS, illustrates the current situation and points to potential future developments.
