ESPE Yearbook of Paediatric Endocrinology

Introduction: For this 7^th edition of the global health chapter of the Yearbook for pediatric endocrinology and diabetes, I was happy to see an increasing number of articles discussing direct or indirect access to healthcare. Indeed, in parallel to studies reporting clinical aspects of endocrine conditions and of diabetes that are specific to low- and middle-income countries, there is an abundance of articles that analyze the reasons for poor access to healthcare and propose practical approaches to correct this suboptimal situation. Each of these approaches requires the collaboration of a variety of stakeholders, including pediatric endocrinologists.
