Since 1990, international organizations have been increasingly involved in building an international sub-regime for research, development and innovation in health. This article analyzes the priorities of developing countries in health since the 1990s. It is a descriptive and analytical study that investigates the literature and contributions of key informants. Calling for the end of global inequities in the support for science and technology in health, international organizations recommend that developing countries focus their efforts on neglected diseases and operational research, an insufficient agenda for science and technology cooperation to effectively overcome the vulnerabilities between countries.
Desde 1990, intensificou-se o movimento das organizações internacionais na construção do sub-regime internacional de pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação em saúde. Este artigo analisa as prioridades dos países em desenvolvimento para essa área desde a década de 1990. Estudo descritivo-analítico, estabelece um diálogo entre a literatura e as contribuições de informantes-chave. Defendendo a superação da iniquidade mundial no fomento científico-tecnológico em saúde, as organizações internacionais recomendam aos países em desenvolvimento focalizar suas ações em doenças negligenciadas e pesquisa operacional - agenda insuficiente para a cooperação científico-tecnológica ser fator de superação de vulnerabilidades entre países.
