Health research was defined by the 43rd World Health Assembly[1] as a process for systematically obtaining knowledge
and technologies which can be used to improve the health of individuals and
groups. Such research work provides basic information on the populations
health and diseases, on how to develop prevention, healing and alleviation of
the effects of diseases, and helps to better plan approaches to individual and
community health services".
Despite the essential function of research to meet new and old public
health challenges, it has been noted that funds allocated to these purposes are
not necessarily linked to the needs of the population in developing countries
that bear the greatest burden of disease. In 1990, the Commission on Health
Research for Development established the so-called 10/90 gap (Global Forum,
1999). According to this initiative, out of the US$ 30 billion invested
globally in health-related Research and Development (R&D) in 1986, less
than 10% was allocated to studying 90% of the health problems in developing and
underdeveloped countries.

The purpose of this volume is to contribute to an open
debate on how to establish health research priorities and the criteria
considered in Latin American and developing countries. It clearly does not
propose to close such debate but instead to facilitate discussions from a
public policy standpoint, which must be supplemented by other national cases,
within and outside the region, thus adding different points of view.
