Abstract:

From the 90’s the national economies become connected and globalized. Changes in demographic and epidemiological profile highlighted the need for further discussions and strategies on Human Resources for Health (HRH). The health workforce crisis is a worldwide phenomenon. It includes difficulty to attract and retain health professionals to rural and remote areas; maldistribution and high turnover, particularly physicians; training health workforce appropriately to the new health and demographic conditions; and the production of scientific evidence to support HRH decision making, policy management, programs and interventions. In this scenario, technical cooperation activities may contribute to the development of the national capacities, strengthening and expanding exchange, production, dissemination and use of knowledge and evidence, as well as the HRH training and institutional strengthening. This article aims to explore this context highlighting the participation of Brazil in the international cooperation arena on HRH and emphasizing the guidelines of the World Health Organization for a political and research agenda to address the global crisis that pose limits on the ability of countries and their health systems to improve the health and lives of their populations.
