One of the limitations of the Global South is the health inequities. There is a shortage of health care professionals, researchers, and economic resources in lowand middle-income countries (LMIC) [3-5]. The countries with the highest economic resources make up only 10% of the world population, yet these utilize at least 90% of the research funding designated annually for medical research. This implies that only 10% of the research funding is available to satisfy the needs for 90% of the rest of the world’s population [6].
