# Background To date, no study has estimated the dollar value of DALYs lost from a wide range of diseases and conditions in South Africa. The specific objectives of this study were: (a) to estimate the dollar value of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost in South Africa in 2019, and (b) to forecast the reductions in the dollar value of DALY losses assuming the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3) five disease-specific targets are attained by 2030. # Methods The study employs the human capital approach to convert the DALYs lost from all causes into their International Dollar (Int$) equivalents. The DALYs data used in the analysis was from Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) Database, per capita GDP data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Database, and current health expenditure per person from the Global Health Expenditure Database of the World Health Organization (WHO). # Results South Africa lost 26.6 million DALYs in 2019 with a total value of Int$ 313.5 billion and an average value of Int$ 11,791.6 per DALY. Approximately Int$ 155.6 billion (50%) was attributed to communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNND); Int$ 120.4 billion (38%) to non-communicable diseases (NCD); and Int$ 37.4 billion (12%) to injuries (INJ). The health conditions related to SDG3 targets 3.1 (maternal mortality), 3.2 (neonatal mortality), 3.3 (CMNND), 3.4 (NCD) and 3.6 (INJ) resulted in DALY losses with a value of 256.4 billion, i.e. 82% of the total monetary value of DALYs lost in 2019. Therefore, achieving the five SDG targets would potentially save South Africa Int$ 139.7 billion per year. # Conclusions Health development policy-makers should employ this type of evidence when making a case for increased investments into the national health-related systems to bridge the extant gap in the universal health service coverage index for South Africa.

There is a growing concern of low representation of researchers from low-middle-income countries (LMICs) in the publication of global health research in high-impact peer-reviewed journals. Nobody denies that researchers from the developing world generally face several obstacles to publishing their research. In this viewpoint, we share some of the barriers we have observed from our experience working in both academia and global health practice in low and middle-income countries such as limited opportunities for research funding, gender disparities, and language barriers. Beyond presenting the barriers, we also provide some pragmatic solutions to addressing these barriers through increased research financing, capacity building, gender equity and inclusion, and editorial support. Most importantly, we call for setting a new level of ambition in redressing the imbalances and actualizing the leadership and emergence of a veritable critical mass of LMICs researchers.

Generally the presentation of an exchanging technique is estimated on the danger changed premise. Likely the most popular danger changed execution measure is the Sharpe proportion. Be that as it may, practically speaking one ordinarily looks at the normal return against the unpredictability of profits or the greatest drawdown. Regularly, higher expected return infers higher unpredictability and drawdown.
