Conclusion In LMICs, where resources and expertise may be limited, IC, as ICOH2024, serve as platforms for learning, collaboration, resource sharing, and capacity building. They are essential for addressing the unique challenges faced by LMICs in the realm of OSH. They offer a pathway to contribute to the global efforts in promoting OSH and well-being, and offer opportunities to closing the gaps and work towards enhancing OSH in these regions.
