Abstract

This paper presents the main characteristics of the international cooperation in health recently carried out regionally that fits within the overall umbrella of South-South cooperation. Such cooperation schemes take place mostly among South American countries (UNASUL Saúde) and among lusophone countries including the Palop (Portuguese-Speaking African Countries), East Timor, Brazil and Portugal through the PECS/CPLP (Strategic Plan for Cooperation in Health of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries).
