Abstract

This article presents testimonial and bibliographic information about the history of the “Service Cooperative Inter-American of Public Health” (SCISP) in Peru during the period between 1942-1962, in the context of the implementation of the “Good Neighbor Policy” from the United States Government in its relations with Latin American. The first purpose of this article is to discuss the scope and limitations of technification and modernization public health programs which were developed by SCISP in our country; and second, discuss the importance of their training, and professional development programs in the development of a new generation of sanitarians who consensualmously defined in 1962, the doctrinal principles of the national public health, rooted in local realities, which it was influential in the official public health policy in the next decades.
