• Abstract:

  The analysis of the International Interinstitutional Agreement on Cooperation in Health at the Border, formalized by the Ministries of Health of Brazil and Bolivia, leads to reflection on how this instrument fosters dialogue in the border zone of the subscribing countries, which is the general objective of the research.. The results found indicate that the peculiar legal nature of the adjustment is closely intertwined with the integrationist context advocated in the agreement. However, the perception of borders is still perceived in the sense of barring, while it must be understood as an open space for dialogue and the construction of coordinated actions between nations.
