RESUMO

[Prólogo. Mirta Roses - Directora]. La epidemiología es la base y el fundamento de la salud pública. Como agencia de salud, la principal disciplina de la Organización Panamericana de Salud es por ende la epidemiología, la cual nos permite medir, definir y comparar los problemas y condiciones de salud y su distribución en un contexto poblacional, espacial y temporal. La epidemiología nos dota de instrumentos fundamentales para el contacto con las comunidades y para la observación de los proyectos en el mismo campo de acción. Uno de mis sueños posibles, además de hacer realidad las metas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM), es la eliminación de aquellos padecimientos o enfermedades que aún afectan a nuestros semejantes a pesar de que disponemos del conocimiento y los instrumentos para su virtual desaparición. Esto es posible y, por lo tanto, es éticamente impostergable que nos pongamos en marcha con determinación. Por ello, me complace presentarles la segunda edición en español de Epidemiología básica, porque representa precisamente una herramienta útil para la aplicación de la epidemiología a la prevención de enfermedades y a la promoción de la salud. Este libro presenta los métodos básicos de la epidemiología, con un énfasis en las aplicaciones de la salud pública en los países en desarrollo, y promueve buenas prácticas clínicas, al introducir conceptos de la epidemiología clínica...

RESUMO

This paper reviews the challenges facing the public health workforce in developing countries and the main policy issues that must be addressed in order to strengthen the public health workforce. The public health workforce is diverse and includes all those whose prime responsibility is the provision of core public health activities, irrespective of their organizational base. Although the public health workforce is central to the performance of health systems, very little is known about its composition, training or performance. The key policy question is: Should governments invest more in building and supporting the public health workforce and infrastructure to ensure the more effective functioning of health systems? Other questions concern: the nature of the public health workforce, including its size, composition, skills, training needs, current functions and performance; the appropriate roles of the workforce; and how the workforce can be strengthened to support new approaches to priority health problems.The available evidence to shed light on these policy issues is limited. The World Health Organization is supporting the development of evidence to inform discussion on the best approaches to strengthening public health capacity in developing countries. WHO's priorities are to build an evidence base on the size and structure of the public health workforce, beginning with ongoing data collection activities, and to map the current public health training programmes in developing countries and in Central and Eastern Europe. Other steps will include developing a consensus on the desired functions and activities of the public health workforce and developing a framework and methods for assisting countries to assess and enhance the performance of public health training institutions and of the public health workforce.
