Toward a new, "independent-cooperative model" of international health.
This article comments on the spirited North-South debate on international health which took place in Quebec, Canada in March 1991. This debate focused on a comprehensive critique of the current "classical" approach to international health adhered to by the central industrial countries, and vigorous affirmation of the need for a new, "independent-cooperative model" of international health. Emphasis is placed on the need for new leadership to transform international health from a field of dominance and dependence to one of independence and cooperation.
