From equitable access to equitable innovation: rethinking bioengineering for global health

Street A, Kersaudy Kerhoas M, Ndlovu Z
Abstract

What does global health equity mean? In bioengineering, ‘equity’ is often interpreted as global ‘access’ to technologies, thereby neglecting wider structural inequalities. Here we suggest that the concepts of equity need to be expanded to incorporate principles of equitable representation and recognition within the innovation ecosystem.
