Introduction: International cooperation has a long history throughout the development of humanity, but it is from 1945, with the creation of the United Nations Organisation that the need to establish formal channels for its implementation takes hold. International cooperation is a set of international actions and tools aimed at mobilising resources and exchanging experiences to achieve common goals, and a mixed variant of this is triangular cooperation. International cooperation in health is always a high priority for the development of the nations involved.
Objective: To assess triangular cooperation as part of Cuba's international technical cooperation in health.
Methods: A documentary analysis was carried out, based on a review of publications by organisations and institutions dedicated to managing and supporting non-profit cooperation between countries.
Results: The most extensive and diverse experiences of triangular cooperation were found in Japan, which has been involved in Africa, Asia and Latin America since 1975, with training and sending experts to third countries with the support of neighbouring countries. In 1984, the document Guidelines for the promotion of technical cooperation between developing countries and economic cooperation between developing countries in the health sector was published with the collaboration of the Pan American Health Office, which established as a priority the increasing and effective support for cooperation between countries.
Conclusions: Cuba has participated in various triangular cooperation projects with countries in Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.
