摘要：Developing an International Health capability and training professionals to work with
health at the international level have been concerns of the Fiocruz for over a decade.
This process culminated in its setting up a Global Health and Health Diplomacy area
in 2007 and embarking on other initiatives, including a postgraduate specialisation
course. This paper examines the theoretical frames of reference that orient the
human resource capacity building in Global Health and Health Diplomacy pursued
by Sergio Arouca National School of Public Health (ENSP/Fiocruz) in collaboration with
a number of internal and external partners. Following a brief conceptual review, which
delimits these areas as new objects of study in collective health, the paper examines
the central issue – relations between globalisation and health – that organises the
content and presents the structure of the 1st Specialisation Course in Global Health
and Health Diplomacy, given in 2008-2009, in Brasilia. It is concluded that, in spite of
advances identified in the past decade, these fields are in need of greater conceptual
refinement and development of sound analytical frameworks. Meanwhile, the impacts
of globalisation processes on the health of populations also pose new challenges to
international cooperation. In view of the priority given to health by current Brazilian
foreign policy, there is still insufficient knowledge production and human resource
capacity-building to address these new realities. Thence the importance of the
investments being made.
