South-South cooperation in health, by international organizations, under the perspective of critical bioethics

ABSTRACT

The South-South Cooperation in health is presented as an alternative to the welfare character and transfer of technologies that mark the old North-South model. The resulting actions that come from it have a clear ethical dimension, as they involve resources allocation, intercultural relations, biotechnology sharing and collective decision processes. In this current essay, it is presented the critical bioethics model from which are analyzed three important international documents containing guidelines for the South-South cooperation, in order to understand to which extent they favor the construction of structuring and emancipatory programs.
