In this episode, we dive into a critical topic: how are we supporting each other globally to produce and publish research? Our guest, Emmanuel Ameh, Professor of Pediatric Surgery at the National Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria, shares valuable insights into the challenges faced in Africa when it comes to research and publication, challenges that are also experienced in Latin America. He discusses the initiatives and collaborations that have been developed to address these issues and improve the research landscape. This conversation is an eye-opener for anyone interested in the global research community. We hope you find it inspiring and insightful!
