Resumen

El nexo entre la salud y la política exterior se explora en este artículo a través de un estudio de caso de Nigeria que cuestiona la motivación de la diplomacia en salud y demuestra las instituciones y los mecanismos para su conducta. El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar cómo Nigeria, desde la consecución de la independencia en 1960, ha concedido importancia a la utilización de la salud como instrumento para promover la política exterior. El artículo utiliza el método primario y secundario de recopilación de datos. Los datos primarios se obtuvieron de entrevistas orales e informes de periódicos diarios. Además, se basa en materiales de los Archivos de la OMS en Ginebra y los Archivos Nacionales de Ibadan. Los datos secundarios se obtuvieron de libros, artículos de revistas, publicaciones gubernamentales e Internet. Los datos generados fueron analizados mediante análisis descriptivo y de contenido. El artículo concluye que la experiencia de Nigeria revela los vínculos entre la salud y la política exterior. Los compromisos de salud en forma de ayuda, asistencia y cooperación se utilizan como una forma de poder blando que cumple objetivos de política interior y exterior, incluidos la seguridad, el crecimiento económico y otros intereses. Sin embargo, el pluralismo institucional, las responsabilidades divididas y la falta de profesionalización de los diplomáticos de la salud han estropeado la conducta de la diplomacia sanitaria de Nigeria. En cualquier medida, estos factores constituyen un obstáculo importante para los diplomáticos de la salud a la hora de hacer frente a las dificultades que presenta la propagación mundial de enfermedades infecciosas.
