O papel da diplomacia da saúde global no combate à pandemia da Covid-19 no Brasil

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic was a shock to the whole world; in a scenario of intense globalization and movement between States, everyone needed to review the strategies and policies adopted to mitigate the effects of the virus. In Brazil, the first case was confirmed in March and as the consequences of government management permeated negatively during the year 2020, leading to a second wave without the first hour being over. This research aims to study the role of Global Health Diplomacy in combating the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil during the first year of the pandemic in Brazil, through an exploratory study and critical qualitative methodology. The Diplomacy of Global Health acts in the pandemic scenario as a strategy to promote international cooperation, strengthen the fight against COVID-19 and mainly find ways that help States. This is an agreement signed by the World Health Organization (WHO) with the approval of 194 authorities from member countries. During a pandemic, Brazil acted against the measures defended by the WHO, with an erosion of the image of Brazilian diplomacy in the international environment and bringing in the fight against COVID-19 in Brazilian territory.
