To establish and maintain successful global pharmaceutical and health care partnerships, pharmacists, pharmacy educators, and students should first learn more about the political, cultural, economic and health care dynamics that affect all of the parties involved in these arrangements. This paper explores Latin America within the context of transnational pharmacy and health-based engagement, including pharmacy-related concepts, health care and cultural considerations, behavioral health perspectives, and common misconceptions. Expert knowledge and experience were used to support and corroborate the existing literature about cultural dynamics of health. Recommendations are provided for how schools and colleges of pharmacy can enhance engagement in culturally sensitive partnerships within Latin America. Health-based profiles of Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico are presented to serve as models for establishing, enhancing, and maintaining partnerships across Latin America.
为了建立和维护成功的全球制药和医疗保健伙伴关系,药剂师、药学教育者和学生首先应该更多地了解影响这些安排中所有各方的政治、文化、经济和医疗保健动态。本文探讨了拉丁美洲在跨国药学和以健康为基础的参与背景下的情况,包括与药学相关的概念、医疗保健和文化方面的考虑、行为健康观点以及常见的误解。专家知识和经验被用来支持和证实关于健康文化动态的现有文献。为学校和药学院提供了如何在拉丁美洲增强参与文化敏感型伙伴关系的建议。介绍了阿根廷、巴西、厄瓜多尔、危地马拉和墨西哥的基于健康的概况,作为在整个拉丁美洲建立、加强和维持伙伴关系的模型。
