"……This paper traces the evolution of international health policies and
international health institutions, starting from the birth of the World
Health Organization, the setting up of the *Health for All* target at the
Alma Ata conference in 1978 and the rise of neo-liberal policies promoted by
international financial institutions from 1980 to the present.

The paper looks at different issues surrounding public-private partnerships
and the setting up of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria and the influence of these institutions on the health systems in
poor countries…."

 "……Este artículo analiza la evolución de las políticas de salud y las
instituciones de salud globales. Empieza con el nacimiento de la
Organización Mundial de la Salud, el establecimiento del objetivo de "Salud
para Tod at s" en la conferencia de Alma Ata en 1978 y el surgimiento de las
políticas neoliberales promovidas por las instituciones financieras
internacionales de 1980 al presente. Revisa diferentes temas relacionados
con las asociaciones público-privadas y el establecimiento del Fondo Global
para combatir al SIDA, la tuberculosis y la malaria. Por último, reflexiona
sobre la influencia que el Fondo Global tiene en los sistemas de salud de
los países pobres…."
