Abstract
Spin, hyperbole, meaningless buzzwords, and technocratic jargon have become increasingly common in global health discourse. They are part of a broader phenomenon labelled “global health nonsense”
Three main forms of global health nonsense are obfuscation, misrepresentation, and omission of relevant information
Global health nonsense must be called out, because it stifles collective efforts to understand, critically assess, and improve global health governance
