Edition Details: [Translated title.] In Portuguese. Lead Article in a Series: International Health/Global Health Dossier
Language: Portuguese

In recent years, global health has become a ubiquitous concept in public health and has practically replaced the nigh on fifty-year-old international health agenda. However, its origins, characteristics, differences and impacts have not yet been adequately analyzed. The scope of this dossier is to bring together historians and specialists to attempt to understand the global health concept, highlighting the history of international health, the changing role of state public health services and medical care, and the local/national/global interaction in the context of Latin America and the Caribbean. Our region has a long and dynamic relationship with international health and its organizations, people of renown, initiatives and programs. Production in the field of the history of health in Latin America and the Caribbean has increased in quantity and matured in terms of quality. These studies require reflection and discussion by historians and specialists on the historical background of the global/international character of health and the possible specificities of our regional context.
