Abstract

Large numbers of health-care professionals and trainees from high-income countries travel to low-income and middle-income countries as participants in short-term experiences in global health (STEGHs), which last from a week to several months. STEGHs encompass various types of clinical and non-clinical professional activity and raise many ethical issues, the management of which is key to successful programmes.
