“…The authors of these studies discussed the need for global solidarity to mitigate COVID-19 effects and consequences through global partnerships, preparedness, and multi-sectoral governance [ 32 ]. Others specified the need for global solidarity and collaboration to facilitate capacity bridging between LMICs and HICs [ 33 , 34 ], while some concentrated on solidarity to assure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines through global initiatives such as COVAX [ 35 , 36 ].…”

“…Additionally, several studies across the seven themes seemed to touch on areas in the other themes making the themes interrelated. Articles on solidarity and collaboration (theme 2) called for: multisectorality in GHG structure (theme 3) [ 32 ], population-based health initiatives approach to enhance equity (theme 5) [ 33 ], overcoming geopolitical power and LMICs in capacity building (theme 4) [ 34 ]. Articles on GHG structure change (theme 3) discusses power and hierarchy in decision making (theme 4) [ 28 ], collective action (theme 2) [ 29 ], and partnership (theme 7) [ 31 ].…”

Global Health Governance and Health Equity in the Context of COVID-19: A Scoping Review

et al. 2022

Background: Health equity is an important aspect of responsible governance. COVID-19 exposed existing shortfalls of Global Health Governance (GHG). A considerable amount of related literature is produced. This scoping review aims at mapping the present knowledge and at identifying research gaps. Methods: This scoping review is based on the Joanna Briggs Institute’s guideline for standardized methods and PRISMA-ScR guidelines for reporting. Documents published from December 2019 to October 2021 were searched using PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, World cat, and WHO-Global Index Medicus. Two reviewers screened and reviewed eligible studies in three stages: duplicates identification and elimination, title and abstract screening, and full-text assessment. Data was charted and results were classified into conceptual categories. Analysis was done in three stages: open descriptive coding, focused thematic analysis, and frequency, commonality and significance analysis. Results: forty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Areas of research were grouped into seven themes: “human rights and inequities”, “solidarity, collaboration and partnership”, “GHG structure change”, “political and economic power and finance”, “approaches to address inequity”, “law and regulations”, and “private investment and public-private partnerships (PPPs) in GHG”. The highest number of papers were in the first theme, “human rights and inequities”. However, the themes are interrelated. Authors who contributed to research were mostly affiliated to developed countries indicating a gap in knowledge and expertise in developing countries. Conclusion: Through this scoping review we found that the seven themes are interconnected. Disciplinary collaboration in research relating GHG to health inequities is solicited. Collaboration in research, information sharing, and research capacity development are in needed in developing countries.

“… 18 , 31 , 56 , 57 While collaboration is an important factor in global health research, including COVID-19 research, leadership by authors in LMICs is needed to appropriately reflect local context in the interpretation of research results, as well as to address pervasive power imbalances. 31 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 To that end, this study offers important support. We find that the majority of both lead and senior authors had their primary institutional affiliation within a focal country of their research article.…”

“…The World Bank defines low middle income countries as those where the Gross National income (GNI) is between $1036 and $4045 per capita, while the High-income countries are defined as those with a GNI between $4046 and $12,535. These labels are those set by the World Bank in 2021 and are regularly re-assessed based on the changing economy of the world [ 18 ]. Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of deaths in men globally and in the African population.…”

Precision oncology can be defined as molecular profiling of tumors to identify targetable alterations. Emerging research reports the high mortality rates associated with type II endometrial cancer in black women and with prostate cancer in men of African ancestry. The lack of adequate genetic reference information from the African genome is one of the major obstacles in exploring the benefits of precision oncology in the African context. Whilst external factors such as the geography, environment, health-care access and socio-economic status may contribute greatly towards the disparities observed in type II endometrial and prostate cancers in black populations compared to Caucasians, the contribution of African ancestry to the contribution of genetics to the etiology of these cancers cannot be ignored. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) continue to emerge as important regulators of gene expression and the key molecular pathways involved in tumorigenesis. Particular attention is focused on activated/repressed genes and associated pathways, while the redundant pathways (pathways that have the same outcome or activate the same downstream effectors) are often ignored. However, comprehensive evidence to understand the relationship between type II endometrial cancer, prostate cancer and African ancestry remains poorly understood. The sub-Saharan African (SSA) region has both the highest incidence and mortality of both type II endometrial and prostate cancers. Understanding how the entire transcriptomic landscape of these two reproductive cancers is regulated by ncRNAs in an African cohort may help elucidate the relationship between race and pathological disparities of these two diseases. This review focuses on global disparities in medicine, PCa and ECa. The role of precision oncology in PCa and ECa in the African population will also be discussed.
