Abstract
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has a long history of advocacy for women's health, nationally and internationally. There is a demand and interest in global women's health among a sample of junior doctors training in obstetrics and gynaecology in the UK. There is ongoing debate regarding whether this desire should be nurtured, opportunities created and barriers addressed, both in the interest of training and as a means of addressing global health inequity. Global health work needs to be a mutually beneficial partnership for all involved, with work carried out sensitively and sustainably.
