ROJAS OCHOA, Francisco. Theoretical debate on public health and international health. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2019, vol.45, n.1 ISSN 1561-3127.
This article addresses public health theories, thesis and programs of international scope. As starting year of the international debate on health is taken 1851, when the First International Sanitary Conference was held in Paris. It is emphasized the importance of taking into account the changing over time historical context in which the issue is studied (1851-2017). It is discussed the diverse nomenclature used related to international health, and due to the vastness of this issue, in the article is only commented the institutional fragmentation of the entities involved, the vertical programs, its purposes, the reality of the terms Health for All and Primary Health Care, and the strategy of the health access and universal coverage of health services, with emphasis in Latin America and Cuba.
