Pediatric rheumatology subspecialists treat chronic autoimmune diseases with onset in childhood. Prompt diagnosis and ongoing management of these conditions are imperative to prevent damage from ongoing inflammation. Here, we aim to describe the current landscape of pediatric rheumatic disease in lower to middle-income countries (LMICs) and explore current barriers to understanding global disease burden. We then examine innovative strategies to promote a more equitable future for children and young people living with rheumatic diseases worldwide.
