A commentary in The Lancet argues that global health conferences often reinforce the very power inequities they aim to address, with panel composition frequently lacking geographic, gender, and income diversity. The author cautions against performative inclusivity and tokenism, urging organisers to move beyond surface-level parity toward purposeful, equitable representation. For a nurse and psychologist focused on chronic disease prevention and health behaviour, this critique offers a practical lens for ensuring that the platforms shaping global health discourse genuinely reflect the diverse communities most affected by chronic illness and behavioural risk factors.
