dc.description.abstractSince the late 1990s, governments of Brazil and Cuba have been promoting scientific interaction emphasizing South-South collaborations. The Brazil-Cuba vaccine targeted the meningitis strain in Africa when vaccination stocks ran low, and subsequently the two organizations developped an inexpensive health product accessible also to the local populations. The Brazil-Cuba meningitis project was not their only collaboration to have benefited a third party. They are now jointly promoting health and development in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake and will construct hospitals, support immunization programs, and strengthen laboratories for disease surveillance in Haiti.en
