Medical education reforms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) can strengthen health workers’ intrinsic motivation/avoid frequent absences, solicitation of informal payments, patient abuse and disrespect.

RT @IsmahaneElouafi: We should opt for #STI deployment at large, namely in #LMICs.

Several existing innovations require #PrivateSector investment to deploy them at scale in those vulnerable communities, bearing the blunt of #ClimateChange.

Happy to share our article out in @FrontiersIn #PublicHealth on a needs assessment for #RareDiseases #UndiagnosedDiseases in countries represented in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network International @UDNIss Need for increased diagnosis & research in #LMICs

If there is frustration at the slow pace of implementation & coverage of WGS for patients with #RareDiseases in the US, imagine the frustration for us in other parts of the world! #LMICs We NEED to make genomic sequencing available to patients everywhere!

It's #RareDisease week! And to get us off to a great start of #RareDiseaseDay activities, I'm happy to share that our Research Topic @FrontGenetics is now live & accepting submissions. The Topic focuses on diagnosis & research of #RareDiseases in #LMICs

@cgonzagaj How do the millions of parents in #LMICs feel reading that? "death might have been avoided had rapid, diagnostic WGS been performed at time of symptom onset.."😭
Makes me more determined than ever to change this for Africa!

We cannot claim to be serious about #UN #SDG3 #InfantMortality #Under5Mortality while still ignoring #RareDiseases in #LMICs.
We need #access #affordable #equitable #genomics *now*!
I'm a broken record.
Our patients deserve so much more! https://twitter.com/cgonzagaj/status/1623865789529964545

That time of the year again where I follow #AGBT23 and wish I was in Florida to see all the new Omics technologies but then sadly remember that most of those technologies and machines are too expensive and not accessible to researchers in low & middle income countries #LMICs

RT @aparna1024@twitter.com

such an important question esp. in #LMICs w/ a dirth of trials. even in places where trials available, choices are dizzying. Even the experts aren’t going to know every trial. team effort- patients empowering patients w/ knowledge & disease experts have a good pulse on studies! https://twitter.com/jackeulade10/status/1618789588587384833

Hello, this is my belated #introduction.

I am an #economist at #UniversityCollegeLondon.

Most of my research is on #healtheconomics, both on #HighIncomeCountries and #LMICs.

You can find out more about my research at http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uctpamv/

I am also the Economics Academic co-Director of the UCL Policy Lab, and a Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

This is great news for researchers in Mexico, having the possibility to submit our work to #PLoS journals without worrying about high OA APCs coming out from our limited research funds. Looking forward to submitting some of our research to #PLOSGenetics @PLOSBiology in 2023! And hopefully other publishers follow suit and establish this kind of publishing agreements with research institutions in Latin America and other #LMICs @cellpress

I just noticed that @DaveEvansPhD joined us here. Welcome, Dave! If you aren't following him already, you should be. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things #education in #LMICs. Also, he gives good advice on interesting books and films to watch from artists all over the world.

How do can we encourage more #diversity in reviews? This is important as an entry point to publish work from #diverse settings or topics. My perspective comes from interdisciplinary work on #ClimateChange. We are going to see less work published and less visibility on the human impacts of climate from #LMICs if we can’t solve this problem.
