Resumen
O artigo examina as ideias de Abraham Horwitz, diretor da Organização Panamericana da Saúde, sobre as relações entre saúde e desenvolvimento, quando da celebração da Aliança para o Progresso, em 1961. Toma-se o discurso do desenvolvimento como a filosofia pública da cooperação internacional e discute-se a forma pela qual Horwitz propõe uma mediação entre saúde e desenvolvimento. Verifica-se que ele preocupou-se em estabelecer um cardápio de argumentos favoráveis à importância das políticas sociais, em particular da saúde, ampliando adesões em diferentes audiências, afirmando conexões entre saúde, adoecimento e produtividade do trabalho, sem prescindir de um sentido humanístico, caro à tradição sanitarista. The article explores the ideas of Pan American Health Organization director Abraham Horwitz on the relations between health and development at the time the Alliance for Progress was established, in 1961. Taking development discourse as a public philosophy of international cooperation, the discussion centers on how Horwitz worked to mediate between health and development. Horwitz endeavored to establish arguments that highlighted the importance of social policy, especially in health; he also strove to reach different audiences and drew connections between elements like health, illness, and labor productivity, without ignoring the humanistic considerations so dear to the public health tradition. 2118-01-01
