A translação do conhecimento no âmbito da cooperação internacional: A experiência da Fiocruz em incorporação de tecnologias em saúde no Haiti

Abstract

To investigate the debate about South-South cooperation, we conducted an analysis of a course on the Management of Physical and Technological Resources in Health given in Haiti as part of a partnership between Fiocruz and the Brazilian and Haitian ministries of health with the aim of enabling the functioning of the units built by Brazil, contributing to the sustainability of the tripartite cooperation project. The course format – designing interventions to overcome real problems identified by the students – resulted in the development of eight intervention pre-projects geared towards overcoming management problems at the reference community hospitals built by Brazil in Haiti.
