On 3 November 2012, Health Systems Global was launched at the Second Global Symposium on Health Systems Research, in Beijing. Health Systems Global is an international membership organisation entirely dedicated to promoting cross-disciplinary health systems research and knowledge translation. Its launch was attended by almost 2,000 people from across the globe. Yet, one geographical region was almost entirely unrepresented: the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (CEE/FSU). In this commentary we ask why this region has such a small presence in health systems research.
