“…Like partnerships, twinning is a similar approach that has been successfully applied to NPHI collaborations (70). Similarly, several successful regional networks are evidenced by the launch of Africa CDC in 2017 (71,72), NPHI networks in Europe (73) and South American NPHI networks (41). This nding also resonates with literature on NPHI networks and partnerships discussing the added value of facilitating reciprocity through sharing capacity and supplies such as laboratory networks (72).…”

“…Graduate education. Articles discussing experiences from Mexico (16,17,43,52) and Brazil (41) are unique in that their mandates includes accredited educational opportunities in public health disciplines, training, and workforce development. The result of engagement with education and training is the increased potential for repatriating individuals that may stem 'brain drain' that depletes countries of skilled, trained individuals.…”

Background. During the last century, national public health institutes (NPHIs) emerged to address enduring and emergency public health challenges. Outbreaks have often compelled countries to establish NPHIs. Likewise, the Covid-19 pandemic may inspire countries to create or strengthen NPHIs. Despite their historic legacies and contributions to public health, no review of NPHI literature has been published to date. The aim of this scoping review is to provide an overview of the NPHI literature published since 2000 and map characteristics of articles including format, authorship, geographic focus, methods, language, and focal topic. We also investigate whether the NPHI literature addresses public health capacity building domains. Finally, the study identifies gaps and areas for future research. Methods. The scoping review was guided the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework and utilized the PRISMA-ScR checklist. The search was conducted in Medline OVID and Scopus databases. Data extraction involved mapping article characteristics and reviewing public health capacity building framework domains. Results. The search yielded 5731 records. A total of 43 articles met the study eligibility criteria. Articles were published in English, Spanish, French and Russian including diverse perspectives and experiences emanating from more than 20 countries in Africa, Europe, North America and South America. Most articles were formatted as commentaries. Only three reported methods or collected primary data. Articles topics included organizational structure, networks, research, funding, and governance. Conclusion. Findings reveal a longstanding international interest in leveraging NPHIs to address complex public health challenges. Lack of studies reporting methods reveals the need for future research to utilize quantitative and qualitative methods. The NPHI literature addresses topics concerning public health capacity building which underscores NPHIs’ ability to tackle global and national public health threats. Many articles in this review recommend investment in NPHIs as a strategy to respond to crises and strengthen countries’ public health systems.

Background: In recent decades, global health scholars and policymakers have highlighted the burgeoning role of South-South cooperation (SSC) in health, claiming it constitutes a more just and even-handed approach to health cooperation. But the assertion that SSC inherently challenges power asymmetries and pursues egalitarian agendas and forms of interaction merits interrogation. Here we explore a transformative, counter-hegemonic, solidarity-oriented form of SSCsocial justice-oriented South-South cooperation (SJSSC)as differentiated from other types of health aid. Objective: The objectives of this scoping review are: 1) to determine what is known and discussed through peer-reviewed and grey literature about SJSSC in health; and 2) to identify the different features and principles of SJSSC. This review seeks to inform research agendas and identify implications for policy and practice around SJSSC. Methods: We conducted a search for relevant peer-reviewed and grey literature in eight languages and screened abstracts that met inclusion criteria. We carried out a full-text review and data extraction on included pieces and conducted a thematic analysis identifying a set of repeated themes related to the features and principles of SJSSC. Results: We identified 188 publications meeting our criteria. Through an iterative process, we developed two overarching categories: values and strategies. Each comprises four themes that allowed us to map the ideas and practices of SJSSC depicted in the literature. The values mapped are: an anti-hegemonic world view; equity-oriented and redistributive political values; egalitarian terms of cooperation; and reciprocity. The strategies encompass: solidarity-building; health justice approaches; mutual exchange and collective justice; and challenging interests of dominant classes in the health arena. Conclusion: This review rectifies ungrounded claims about SSC by identifying and mapping the research literature on SJSSC and has relevance for the conceptualization, policy development, and practice of equitable health cooperation.
