This article presents José Roberto Ferreira's contribution to national and international discussions on the training of health professionals and his contributions to the construction of a critical proposal for South-South cooperation in health.

Initially, we will present Ferreira's training and early works in the field of education (1959-1969); his international experiences and contacts with important figures in Latin American social medicine (1969-1996); and, finally, his work at Fiocruz within the framework of foreign policy for the development of structuring cooperation in health (1996-2019
