Introduction: This year’s Global Health chapter includes articles on disease prevention with expansion and improvement in newborn screening, implications of undernutrition and the simultaneous rise in rates of obesity, the use of insulin analogs in resource constrained setting and predictions for global rates of type 1 diabetes. Understanding the variations in disease incidence and treatment practices, determining the feasibility of utilizing newer therapies and working to establish methods for improving and tracking care delivery will improve our ability to meet the needs and improve the health of those living in low and middle-income countries affected by endocrine disorders.
