Abstract

The Global South, encompassing low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania, faces unique health economics challenges due to limited resources, high disease burdens, and systemic inequities. Despite these, the region demonstrates resilience and innovation, with potential to transform healthcare systems.
