La denominada "diplomacia de la salud" ha adquirido un papel fundamental en las Relaciones Internacionales contemporaneas, especialmente en momentos de crisis sanitaria global, como ocurre con la pandemia de la Covid-19. Países como China e India se han destacado en este ámbito, principalmente a través de sus actividades de Cooperación Sur-Sur (CSS) con naciones del Sur Global. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar de manera compara-tiva la "diplomacia de la salud" implementada por China e India en África durante la pandemia de la Covid-19. La pregunta que guía este estudio es: "¿Cómo han utilizado estos países las políticas de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (CID) en la región para combatir la pandemia?" Para responder a esta interrogante, examinamos cómo las prácticas de CID de estos paÃses se relacionan con sus intereses geopolíticos y económicos en en la región. Los resultados del análisis indican que la actuación china se ha destacado a través de donaciones de vacunas, insumos y equipamiento hospitalario, además de acciones en el ámbito de la cooperación financiera, como el alivio de la deuda. El caso indio sobresale por la predominancia de la cooperación técnica, mediante la compartición de tecnologías para telecomunicaciones y teleconsultas, además del suministro de vacunas, medicamentos y equipamiento hospitalario

“…Some OECD members, such as Australia and a few EU countries, as well as non-Western countries, engaged solely in bilateral ‘vaccine diplomacy’ campaigns, rather than channel donations multilaterally, which also undermined global cooperation and equity (de Bengy Puyvallée and Storeng, 2022: 4). India, for instance, privileged the provision of its version of the AstraZeneca vaccine to its Asian allies (Apolinário et al, 2022). However, it halted those efforts from March to October 2021, as it put in place a COVID vaccine export ban in reaction to a severe domestic outbreak, thereby clawing back the reputational benefits it had accrued through its vaccine sharing – and severely impairing COVAX’s vaccine acquisition plans.…”

COVID-19 vaccine apartheid and the failure of global cooperation

The equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines is one of the most important tests of global cooperation that the world has faced in recent decades. Collectively, global leaders failed that crucible abysmally, creating a ‘vaccine apartheid’ that divided the world according to income into countries with widespread access and those without. Why, given that leaders were fully aware of the risks and injustice of vaccine inequity, did governments of wealthy countries hoard doses, impede the expansion of vaccine manufacturing and otherwise prevent equitable access to vaccines? We argue that their decisions to act selfishly are best explained by governments’ accountability to domestic constituencies, their lack of leadership and commitment to multilateralism and their adoption of short-term perspectives, as well as their unwillingness to curb the influence of profit-oriented global pharmaceutical companies and, to a certain extent, of an additional private actor, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
