Description
[Preámbulo]. El artículo 2(n) de la Constitución asigna a la OMS la función de promover y realizar investigación en el campo de la salud. Es amplilamente reconocido que la mejor manera de promover la investigación y las actividades relacionadas con ésta es establecer mecanismos de colaboración con instituciones nacionales de los Estados Miembros. Por lo tanto, a lo largo de los años se ha desarrollado una red amplia de centros colaboradores de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) que se actualiza constatnemente, según sean las necesidades identificadas en el programa de la Organización. En particular, respecto de su objetivo de proporcionar acceso universal a la salud...

Item Seminario virtual regional de los centros colaboradores de la OPS/OMS. Involucrar a nuestros asociados para alcanzar juntos los ODS, 19 y 20 de abril del 2021(OPS, 2022)La Región de las Américas se ha beneficiado del apoyo de los centros colaboradores (CC) de la OMS desde 1950. Desde entonces, los centros han apoyado a la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) en un sinfín de campos técnicos, como la enfermería, la enfermedades transmisibles, la promoción de la salud, los sistemas de información para la salud, la salud mental y la respuesta a situaciones de emergencia. La OPS ha trabajado para asegurar que los planes de trabajo de los CC sean conformes con las prioridades y los mandatos regionales acordados por los Estados Miembros, lo cual garantiza la alta calidad del apoyo prestado por los CC y la mejora de la cooperación técnica ofrecida por la OPS a los países. Además, asegura que la colaboración se vincule a la respuesta de la OPS a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). En abril del 2021, la OPS convocó a los 183 CC ubicados en la Región a un seminario regional virtual con el objetivo general de reconocer la importancia de los CC para lograr los ODS. También tenía como finalidad mostrar la importancia de la cooperación internacional en tiempos difíciles, como los vividos con la COVID-19. El seminario reunió a más de 300 participantes de 30 países. En este informe se presenta un panorama de las deliberaciones de los panelistas y las recomendaciones clave formuladas por los participantes para mejorar las relaciones técnicas entre la OPS y los CC. La aplicación de las recomendaciones formuladas en el seminario y en las evaluaciones anteriores será fundamental para impulsar el mecanismo de los CC y la cooperación técnica de la OPS.Item Protecting healthcare workers during a pandemic: what can a WHO collaborating centre research partnership contribute?(2023)[ABSTRACT]. Objectives. To ascertain whether and how working as a partnership of two World Health Organization collabo- rating centres (WHOCCs), based respectively in the Global North and Global South, can add insights on “what works to protect healthcare workers (HCWs) during a pandemic, in what contexts, using what mechanism, to achieve what outcome”. Methods. A realist synthesis of seven projects in this research program was carried out to characterize context (C) (including researcher positionality), mechanism (M) (including service relationships) and outcome (O) in each project. An assessment was then conducted of the role of the WHOCC partnership in each study and overall. Results. The research found that lower-resourced countries with higher economic disparity, including South Africa, incurred greater occupational health risk and had less acceptable measures to protect HCWs at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic than higher-income more-equal counterpart countries. It showed that rig- orously adopting occupational health measures can indeed protect the healthcare workforce; training and preventive initiatives can reduce workplace stress; information systems are valued; and HCWs most at-risk (including care aides in the Canadian setting) can be readily identified to trigger adoption of protective actions. The C-M-O analysis showed that various ways of working through a WHOCC partnership not only enabled knowledge sharing, but allowed for triangulating results and, ultimately, initiatives for worker protection. Conclusions. The value of an international partnership on a North-South axis especially lies in providing con- textualized global evidence regarding protecting HCWs as a pandemic emerges, particularly with bi-directional cross-jurisdiction participation by researchers working with practitioners.Item A commentary on the Pan American Network of nursing and midwifery collaborating centres(2023)[ABSTRACT]. This article provides a commentary on the Pan American Network of Nursing and Midwifery Collaborating Centres (PANMCC). The objectives are to present an overview of the formation and evolution of the network, its impact on education, research, policy and communication and the benefits of membership. The advantages of international networks as a mechanism to strengthen nursing and midwifery workforces and improve health systems are also highlighted. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the World Health Organization (WHO) Office in the Americas, oversees collaborating centres in the Region. Established in 1999, PANMCC consists of 17 centres situated in universities and schools of nursing. These centres provide crucial nursing and midwifery input to PAHO/WHO. The network supports global engagement and capacity building via col- laboration, resource sharing and research colloquia. The linkages within the network enhance professional development, increase capacity building and heighten visibility of PANMCC and the work of its members.Item Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centers in Nursing and Midwifery in Haiti(2019)[ABSTRACT]. Objective. To describe partnerships that Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Collaborating Centers in Nursing and Midwifery have in Haiti, and their contribution to promoting universal health coverage in that country. Methods. In 2017, semistructured interviews were conducted by telephone or email to update the status of activities and collaborations that were mentioned in a 2016 report (which covered efforts prior to early 2016) by the office of the Regional Advisor on Nursing and Allied Health Personnel at PAHO/WHO. Using that information, two of the authors categorized the Collaborating Center activities into focal areas. Results. Six of the nine Collaborating Centers mentioned in the 2016 PAHO/WHO report participated in the 2017 semistructured interviews. The five focal areas identified were: 1) direct care/primary health care, 2) research, 3) workforce development, 4) curriculum development, and 5) shared educational activities. Conclusions. Current PAHO/WHO Nursing and Midwifery Collaborating Center partnerships in Haiti support universal health access and coverage through direct provision of care with ongoing Haiti-based clinics; research in topics relevant to Haitian partners; assistance with continuing education for nurses; and shared educational activities. These efforts are enhanced through partnerships with Haitian organizations and the Ministry of Public Health and Population. Coordination among PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centers could augment individual schools’ efforts to assist health providers and institutions in Haiti to improve health outcomes and support universal health coverage.Item COVID-19 in the Americas: the role of collaborating centers in understanding lessons and best practices in pandemic preparedness and response(2023)[ABSTRACT]. COVID-19 exposed major gaps in global, regional, state, and local responses to public health emergencies. In preparation for the WHA Special Session to consider the benefits of developing an international instrument on pandemic preparedness, the O’Neill Institute in partnership with Foundation for the National Institutes of Health convened 30 of the world’s leading authorities on global health law, financing, biomedical science, implemen- tation, and emergency response along with leaders from prominent international organizations. This meeting was followed by regional consultations convened in Latin America-Caribbean, Africa, and Southeast Asia. These high-level expert consultations generated in-depth discussions on weaknesses and persisting gaps in global pandemic preparedness and what a new international agreement might include to address them. Regional intergovernmental organizations like PAHO can work closely with related multilateral development banks to develop financial instruments that can smooth systemic economic disruption; and regional centers of research and manufacturing excellence can offer a strong front line for producing medicines and vaccines rapidly during a pandemic. With our research focused on the regional response to COVID-19 we are able to look at country responses individually and collectively to see how Latin America – Caribbean countries can capitalize and leverage their regional connections to strengthen their pandemic preparedness and response. By identifying existing gaps and examining the responses and approaches taken by PAHO, we can better understand the role of international and regional organizations and their collaborating centers in preparing and responding to pandemics.
