The idea of a Global Health Section within the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) came from a group of neurologists with active work in sub-Saharan Africa, who believed that the AAN could provide a greater leadership role in supporting the advancement of quality neurologic training, research, and patient care in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Initially a Special Interest Group, the Global Health Section was approved for full section status in September 2011 and endorsed by the AAN Board of Directors in October 2011. The Global Health Section currently consists of over 200 members. In a 2-part series, we present a summary of the Global Health Section strategic plan and vision for future activities.
美国神经病学学会（AAN）设立全球健康分会的想法源于一群在撒哈拉以南非洲地区积极工作的神经病学家，他们认为 AAN 可以在支持低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）的高质量神经病学培训、研究和患者护理方面发挥更大的领导作用。该全球健康分会最初是一个特别利益集团，于 2011 年 9 月获得正式分会地位，并于 2011 年 10 月得到 AAN 董事会的认可。目前，该全球健康分会由 200 多名成员组成。在一个两部分的系列中，我们将介绍全球健康分会的战略计划和未来活动的愿景概述。
