Concentric rings of knowledge use(r)s in global health. Note: this figure shows (1) examples of the scales of organisation at which knowledge is used for equity (ie, the five concentric rings); (2) the spaces in which the knowledge is used (ie, the small circles that line the concentric rings); and (3) the four use(r)s or units of knowledge which are represented as four labelled circles within each small circle. Note that the size of the primary use(r)s or units (ie, emancipators and plumbers) is larger closer to the community ‘ring’, while subsidiary use(r)s or units (ie, engineers and professors) is larger closer to the global ‘ring’.
