Abstract
The integration of global health (GH) principles into pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is essential to addressing disparities in child health outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where preventable diseases remain a leading cause of mortality. This narrative review explores the intersection of PEM and GH, emphasizing the need for comprehensive training, sustainable infrastructure, and policy frameworks tailored to resource-limited settings. Key barriers, including limited critical care resources, delayed presentation, and workforce shortages, are discussed alongside the transformative potential of strategies such as telemedicine, cultural competence, and international collaboration. The review highlights successful models from both high-resource and low-resource settings, illustrating how innovative training programs, bidirectional partnerships, and equitable resource allocation can enhance pediatric emergency care globally. By advocating for capacity building, evidence-based policymaking, and integration of GH into PEM training, this review provides actionable insights to ensure resilient, inclusive, and high-quality pediatric emergency care systems worldwide.
