“…The brief discussion presented in this paper attests to the "emergence of new objects of study in the collective health field, known generically by the terms "global health" and "health diplomacy" (ALMEIDA et al, 2007(ALMEIDA et al, -2008, but which also include other concepts, such as "global public Box -Aims of the 1St specialisation Course in Global Health and Health Diplomacy…”

Developing an International Health capability and training professionals to work with health at the international level have been concerns of the Fiocruz for over a decade. This process culminated in its setting up a Global Health and Health Diplomacy area in 2007 and embarking on other initiatives, including a postgraduate specialisation course. This paper examines the theoretical frames of reference that orient the human resource capacity building in Global Health and Health Diplomacy pursued by Sergio Arouca National School of Public Health (ENSP/Fiocruz) in collaboration with a number of internal and external partners. Following a brief conceptual review, which delimits these areas as new objects of study in collective health, the paper examines the central issue-relations between globalisation and health-that organises the content and presents the structure of the 1st Specialisation Course in Global Health and Health Diplomacy, given in 2008-2009, in Brasilia. It is concluded that, in spite of advances identified in the past decade, these fields are in need of greater conceptual refinement and development of sound analytical frameworks. Meanwhile, the impacts of globalisation processes on the health of populations also pose new challenges to international cooperation. In view of the priority given to health by current Brazilian foreign policy, there is still insufficient knowledge production and human resource capacity-building to address these new realities. Thence the importance of the investments being made.

“…The policy implementers (governments, health workers, national and international NGO) are often highly dependent on external funding and must follow the global rules set by the international organisations and imposed by the fund donors or project financers; they work under pressure to show "results" defined according to the funder's parameters and have insufficient time to think about or understand the local health situation they are supposed to act on. The recipients of these actions (the people and populations) live and work in extremely precarious conditions where there are often no functioning networks of health or education services and extensive poverty goes hand in hand with high rates of illiteracy and lack of information.Disillusionment, lack of confidence in health systems, lack of communication, information and hope are common in this context(MOONEY & HOUSTON, 2008;THIEDE & MCINTYRE, 2008;ALMEIDA, 2008).This situation also poses new challenges for international cooperation 23 and it is important to train personnel to work appropriately and more effectively in this field.The results obtained from the 1st Specialisation Course in Global Health and Health Diplomacy are encouraging and confirm this as a priority area for human resource capacitybuilding in Brazil, in view of the recent changes in Brazilian foreign policy and the priority given to health in the South-South cooperation projects that Brazil is developing24 , as well as the interest that has been expressed in holding other similar courses. The content chosen has proven appropriate, but has to be improved, and the evaluation methodology yielded important input for the necessary revision of this training, which will be implemented in future courses.…”
