Abstract

International collaborations have significant impacts on patient care, endoscopy education, and research. These collaborations can be mutually enriching for all parties involved. Resource-limited settings may suffer from inadequate infrastructure or expertise to meet societal needs, yet they offer unique opportunities that can benefit collaborating partners. Unfortunately, there is often a lack of clear guidance on how to establish collaborations between professionals in the global South and their European or American counterparts. This review aims to address this issue by describing the key elements of successful partnerships, identifying reasons for failure, highlighting hidden pitfalls, and offering strategies for beneficial and productive collaboration. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural differences and provides recommendations for all parties involved in a collaboration. Our goal is to provide an essential guide for fostering strong, mutually beneficial partnerships in international collaborations between resource-rich and resource-limited settings.

在资源有限的环境中开展国际合作的机会:非洲的启示
国际合作对患者护理、内窥镜教育和研究具有重大影响。这些合作可以使参与各方相互受益。资源有限的环境可能因基础设施或专业知识不足而无法满足社会需求,但它们却提供了独特的机会,能让合作方受益。遗憾的是,对于如何在全球南部的专业人员与欧美同行之间建立合作关系,往往缺乏明确的指导。本综述旨在通过描述成功合作关系的关键要素、找出失败的原因、强调隐藏的陷阱以及提供有益和富有成效的合作策略来解决这一问题。综述强调了理解文化差异的重要性,并为参与合作的各方提供了建议。我们的目标是为资源丰富和资源有限环境之间的国际合作提供一个重要指南,以促进强有力的互利合作关系。
