Global Health Initiatives: Addressing Health Disparities in Low-Income Countries

Abstract

Abstract: This paper examines global health initiatives aimed at reducing health disparities in low-income countries. Despite progress in global health, significant disparities persist in health outcomes, access to care, and resource allocation. Initiatives such as the Global Fund, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the World Health Organization’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) initiative have played crucial roles in addressing these disparities. This study reviews the effectiveness of these initiatives, their challenges, and the importance of a multi-faceted approach that includes government, non-governmental organizations, and local communities. By evaluating successes and identifying areas for improvement, this paper seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse on equitable health access in low-income countries..
