dc.description.abstract In many low and medium income countries, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are important causes of morbidity and mortality.1,2,3 While infectious diseases such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria, and Ebola remain important areas of focus, there is an urgent need to expand medical care to fully address NCDs, including gastrointestinal (GI) and liver diseases.4,5 Collaborations between gastroenterologists from low, middle, and high-income countries can accelerate the development of comprehensive gastrointestinal care in low and medium- income countries, and offer unique clinical, research, and educational opportunities for GI Centers from high income countries.6 In this commentary, we share our experiences in the creation of a new GI Unit in Uganda and expanding an existing GI program in Kenya. Integrating these experiences with existing literature and society recommendations, we provide a blueprint for future collaborations between GI Centers globally. en_US
