Read about the stark disparities in global OHNS clinician density, ranging from 0.18 clinicians per 100,000 population in Africa to 5.70 in Europe, in a recent publication by Global OHNS Initiative members. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted workforce interventions to address inequity in access to OHNS care.

We have adapted PIH Rwanda's research guidelines to ensure equitable representation in our projects. The Global OHNS Initiative's Research Equity Guidelines were published by the open-access journal Oto Open and are available on our research page.
