Resumo: | The present reflection is a result of experiences within the framework of two projects in the health sector in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau (RGB): "Postgraduate Training Course for Doctors" - 1997-2006, supported by the World Bank (WB); and "Reorganization and Management of Simão Mendes National Hospital ", coordinated by the African Development Bank (AfDB). A brief description of the two projects is presented, highlighting the importance of organization, planning and management in health within the context of very limited resources in a Sub-Saharan African country: the Simão Mendes National Hospital (HNSM), Bissau. Strategies to reorganize several areas of hospital activity were redefined in close collaboration with local groups. A particular focus was given to management training, professional development, resource allocation, information systems, logistics support and involvement of several stakeholders. This paper analyses the various professional apprenticeships and how knowledge can be used as a reflection for action: (i) the issues associated with cooperation initiatives and human rights; (ii) human resources as a factor for development in the African context; and (iii) health networks as solutions suitable for adaptation to the reality of developing countries. Our conclusions focus on issues we consider essential for cooperation initiatives based on ethics, reciprocity of rights between states and the dignity of its people, in which human resources and networking in healthcare are a key factor for human development. |

Cooperation and Human Development in the Health Area: An Experience in Guinea-BissauCooperação e desenvolvimento humano na área da saúde: uma experiência na Guiné-BissauThe present reflection is a result of experiences within the framework of two projects in the health sector in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau (RGB): "Postgraduate Training Course for Doctors" - 1997-2006, supported by the World Bank (WB); and "Reorganization and Management of Simão Mendes National Hospital ", coordinated by the African Development Bank (AfDB). A brief description of the two projects is presented, highlighting the importance of organization, planning and management in health within the context of very limited resources in a Sub-Saharan African country: the Simão Mendes National Hospital (HNSM), Bissau. Strategies to reorganize several areas of hospital activity were redefined in close collaboration with local groups. A particular focus was given to management training, professional development, resource allocation, information systems, logistics support and involvement of several stakeholders. This paper analyses the various professional apprenticeships and how knowledge can be used as a reflection for action: (i) the issues associated with cooperation initiatives and human rights; (ii) human resources as a factor for development in the African context; and (iii) health networks as solutions suitable for adaptation to the reality of developing countries. Our conclusions focus on issues we consider essential for cooperation initiatives based on ethics, reciprocity of rights between states and the dignity of its people, in which human resources and networking in healthcare are a key factor for human development.A presente reflexão resulta das experiências vivenciadas e enquadradas em dois projetos na área da saúde na República da Guiné-Bissau (RGB): do Banco Mundial (BM) – “Curso de Formação Pós-Graduada de Médicos” – de 1997 a 2006; e do Banco Africano de Desenvolvimento (BAD) – “Reorganização e Gestão do Hospital Nacional Simão Mendes”. Apresenta-se uma breve descrição dos dois projetos, realçando-se a importância da organização, planeamento e gestão em saúde no contexto de elevada escassez num país africano da África Subsariana: o Hospital Nacional Simão Mendes (HNSM), de Bissau. Tratou-se de definir estratégias em colaboração íntima com os atores locais que permitissem uma reorientação da atividade hospitalar em diversos domínios, designadamente, formação de quadros, desenvolvimento profissional, afetação de recursos, sistema de informação, apoio logístico e envolvimento dos diversos stakeholders. O texto analisa as diversas aprendizagens profissionais e a projeção do conhecimento para reflexão na ação: (i) a problemática da cooperação e sua ligação aos direitos humanos; (ii) os recursos humanos como fator de desenvolvimento no contexto africano; e (iii) saúde em rede como solução adaptável à realidade dos países em desenvolvimento. As conclusões atêm-se às matérias que consideramos prioritárias para uma cooperação baseada na ética, na reciprocidade de direitos entre os Estados e na dignidade dos povos, em que os recursos humanos e o estabelecimento de redes na atenção à saúde são fundamentais, como fator de desenvolvimento humano.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2015-01-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.7559/gestaoedesenvolvimento.2015.270oai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/270Gestão e Desenvolvimento; No 23 (2015); 25-47Gestão e Desenvolvimento; n. 23 (2015); 25-472184-56380872-556X10.7559/gestaoedesenvolvimento.2015.23reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gestaoedesenvolvimento/article/view/270https://doi.org/10.7559/gestaoedesenvolvimento.2015.270https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gestaoedesenvolvimento/article/view/270/257Direitos de Autor (c) 2015 Paulo Salgado, Paulo Almeida Pereirahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSalgado, PauloPereira, Paulo Almeida2022-09-23T15:47:15Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/270Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:04:34.646223Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
