Abstract(s)
A inclusão das ameaças à saúde pública no contexto da segurança, redimensiona os
estudos em Saúde Pública como uma área do conhecimento de cariz transdisciplinar. Dada
a importância dos Serviços de Saúde nas instituições militares, torna-se importante, no
contexto das ciências militares, o desenvolvimento de trabalhos de investigação no sentido da
compreensão dos diversos fenómenos relacionados com o amplo espectro de ação da Saúde
Militar, nomeadamente nas suas dimensões estratégicas e operacionais. O presente artigo,
propõe o estudo da problemática da cooperação entre Serviços de Saúde Militar e Saúde
Pública no contexto do Regulamento Sanitário Internacional. Esta investigação resulta de uma
abordagem metodológica indutiva, utilizando métodos e técnicas qualitativas, com recurso
sobretudo a técnicas de análise documental, focus group (grupo de discussão) e entrevistas
em profundidade. No final do artigo, é proposto um conjunto de elementos estruturantes para
a definição de um arquétipo da colaboração entre Serviços de Saúde Militar e Saúde Pública,
tendo em conta a perspetiva da sua implementação.
The inclusion of public health threats in the context of security1, which gave rise to the concept of health security2, has reframed Public Health studies as a transdisciplinary field of knowledge. This fact is amplified in the case of public health emergencies of international concern, as defined in the International Health Regulations, an international legal instrument drafted by the World Health Organization and signed by 196 States Parties, including all the organization’s member States. Its main goal is to support the international community in preventing, detecting, and responding to public health risks that have the potential to cross borders and threaten the world’s populations. Against this background, Public Health Studies emerge as a paradigm where several fields of knowledge intersect, which encompass both the natural and social sciences. This paradigm is also mentioned in the strategic security and defence documents of several States. The following excerpt taken from the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, issued in December 2017, confirms the timeliness and relevance of this subfield of military science.
