The JBI gLOCAL Solution Room is a week-long global series of locally hosted, interactive events designed to provide pragmatic solutions to challenges in getting evidence into practice, bringing together clinicians, academics and policymakers to discuss how global evidence informs local practice and how local experience shapes global thinking in evidence-based healthcare. JBI explicitly frames “gLOCALization” as the simultaneous global and local nature of evidence generation, synthesis, transfer and implementation, emphasizing that evidence must be adapted to specific contexts given differences in economics, policy, systems and culture.

This event embodies the gLOCAL framework by adapting global evidence to local contexts, bridging clinicians, academics, and policymakers across Ghana, South Africa, Cameroon, India, and beyond. The sessions will explore prevalence, cultural burdens, pregnancy, lifestyle interventions as well as patient voices. The program fosters bidirectional knowledge exchange, tailoring JBI evidence synthesis to diverse economics, policies, and cultures for pragmatic implementation.
