[Correspondence] Germany must invest in its global health academic workforce

At the launch of The Lancet's Germany and health Series in Berlin, passionate calls were heard for Germany to assume a leadership role in global health. Unfortunately, we are faced with a large gap in Germany's global health education and research capacity1 after a long period of global health “infancy”,2 and “low prioritisation of global health in its universities' curricula”.1 Less than a third of health-related degree programmes in Germany offer any global health education,3 and most medical faculties score low for global health research and education, according to the Global H ealth University Ranking.
