Results from medical research from high-income countries may not apply to low- and middle-income countries. Some expatriate physicians combine clinical duties with research. We present global health research conducted by Dutch medical doctors in Global Health and Tropical Medicine in low- and middle-income countries and explore the value of their research. We included all research conducted in the last 30 years by medical doctors in Global Health and Tropical Medicine in a low- and middle-income country, resulting in a PhD thesis. Articles and co-authors were found through Medline. More than half of the 18 identified PhD theses concerned maternal health and obstetrics, and the majority of the research was conducted in low-income countries, mostly in rural hospitals. Over 70 local co-authors were involved. Different aspects of these studies are discussed.
高收入国家的医学研究结果可能不适用于低收入和中等收入国家。一些外籍医生将临床职责与研究相结合。我们展示了荷兰医生在低收入和中等收入国家开展的全球健康与热带医学方面的全球健康研究，并探讨了他们研究的价值。我们纳入了过去30年里在低收入和中等收入国家从事全球健康与热带医学研究并形成博士论文的所有研究。通过医学文献数据库检索文章和共同作者。在18篇已确定的博士论文中，超过一半涉及孕产妇健康和产科学，且大部分研究在低收入国家进行，主要是在农村医院。有70多名当地共同作者参与其中。我们讨论了这些研究的不同方面。
