Abstract
Today, health outcomes of different groups of people differ vastly and are the product of structural inequalities and injustice linked to the legacy of colonialism. The field of global health is concerned with evoking policies that seek to put into place universal and equitable health systems, which enable all people, within both lower- and higher-income countries, to access medical solutions and healthcare. In this sense, it is crucial to ensure that health equity and social justice concerns remain at the centre of global health practice and rhetoric. There is urgent need to address skewed power dynamics relating to leadership and knowledge production as well as prejudiced views, while acknowledging the legacy and impact of colonialism, racism, sexism and exploitative capitalism on health equity – all of which is at the heart of the decolonising global health agenda.
