Building partnerships in global health

Global health partnerships (GHPs) can be the cornerstone for advancing research and public health. The steps to build a global research partnership focus on sharing a common research agenda, identifying key partners in the community, and establishing goals and expectations for partnerships. Moreover, upholding important values, such as communication, trust, and transparency is essential for building successful partnerships. Ethical dilemmas can propose challenges to researchers in global health. These challenges can be overcome by creating a shared vision for a research agenda, maintaining communication, and providing bidirectional training.
