Saúde, Direitos Humanos, Nigéria, Organização Mundial da SaúdeResumo
A governança global da saúde diz respeito às respostas coletivas necessárias dentro da comunidade da saúde pública para enfrentar com eficácia os desafios compartilhados que surgem em um mundo cada vez mais conectado. É um truísmo que a promoção de uma infraestrutura de saúde robusta seja fundamental para a obtenção de saúde e bem-estar. No entanto, a infraestrutura legal – as leis e políticas que reforçam, obrigam ou limitam as ações governamentais e privadas em relação à saúde – tem sido negligenciada na literatura dominante. Isso ocorre porque a infraestrutura de saúde tem se concentrado mais nas estruturas físicas dos órgãos de saúde pública, como clínicas, hospitais, e nos recursos humanos que os operam. O objetivo deste estudo foi explorar até que ponto marcos legais da Organização Mundial da Saúde, como a Convenção-Quadro para o Controle do Tabaco (2003) e o Regulamento Sanitário Internacional revisado, impactaram as leis e políticas de saúde na Nigéria. O artigo postula que as várias convenções e regulamentos adotados, que foram posteriormente ratificados e declarados aplicáveis a Nigéria, foram internalizados no país, porém, o desrespeito ao estado de direito tem impedido a maximização dos benefícios esperados de tais marcos legais. Concluiu-se que a Organização Mundial da Saúde deve desenvolver um programa de capacitação em legislação e políticas de saúde pública e vigilância em saúde para garantir esforços contínuos e organizados, a fim de contribuir para que os Estados-Membros, incluindo a Nigéria, possam fortalecer sua infraestrutura legal.
