The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has a long history of advocacy for women's health, nationally and internationally. There is a demand and interest in global women's health among a sample of junior doctors training in obstetrics and gynaecology in the UK. There is ongoing debate regarding whether this desire should be nurtured, opportunities created and barriers addressed, both in the interest of training and as a means of addressing global health inequity. Global health work needs to be a mutually beneficial partnership for all involved, with work carried out sensitively and sustainably.
英国皇家妇产科医师学院(RCOG)在国内外倡导妇女健康方面有着悠久的历史。在英国接受妇产科培训的初级医生样本中,对全球妇女健康存在需求和兴趣。关于是否应该培养这种愿望、创造机会并消除障碍,无论是出于培训的考虑还是作为解决全球健康不平等的一种手段,目前仍在进行辩论。全球健康工作需要成为所有参与方互利的伙伴关系,并以敏感和可持续的方式开展。
