Health Diplomacy in the Political Process of Integration in Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract: The construction of the concepts of diplomacy and health diplomacy must consider their conceptions and practices, at both the global and regional levels. Health diplomacy is vitally important in a global context, where health problems cross national borders and more new stakeholders appear every day, both within and outside the health sector.

“…Within the revised treaty of the CARICOM, there are five organs, one of which is the Council on Human and Social Development, which supports the improvement of health. Another initiative is the Caribbean Cooperation in Health, a regional health strategy that has prioritized preventing communicable and NCDs, and strengthens health systems, environmental health, food and nutrition, mental health, family and children's health, and human resources training (Buss and Tobar 2018). The 21st century has brought new opportunities and challenges for the health of the populations in the Caribbean region, whose countries are linked by geography, history, and culture.…”

Collective action was initially pursued at the hemispheric level in the framework of the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) 6 and further developed—between the 1970s and the 1990s—at the subregional level through the establishment of the Andean Health Body (which is part of the Andean integration system), the Amazon Region's Special Health Commission (part of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization), and the Technical Sub-group on Public Health of the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) ( Buss and Tobar 2018 ). Through these institutions, South American states have cooperated in the fight against infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, malaria, and dengue) through the adoption of shared epidemiological and sanitary practices.…”
