- Introduction: This research examines the theme of health diplomacy in the DeCS methodology, developed by the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences (BIREME) for indexing scientific and technical literature for networks cooperation in the Virtual Health Library (VHL). It demonstrates the importance of using the descriptor health diplomacy to retrieve information about policies and cooperation in health, contributing to the development in Latin America and Caribbean health systems. It checks the use of the descriptor for the recovery of texts and their relation to the improvement of VHL services and products in providing quality health information. It explains that for the health sciences, diplomacy is part of the political process for the formation of national health programs based on transnational cooperation. It questions how to retrieve the technical and scientific documents on health diplomacy in the VHL. And what is the impact of this descriptor as to the improvement of the VLH in terms of contribution to health systems in the region. Material: DeCS terminology provides research in three languages: Spanish, Portuguese and English. That includes specific topics of Latin American society, such as Public Health and Sanitation. DeCS has 30,369 descriptors and incorporates the LILACS. This is part of the performance of VHL with the Health Information Locator (HIL),which includes twenty-eight sources. Methodology: The study is characterized by social and descriptive research, with qualitative and quantitative approach. DeCS vocabulary analysis, to represent the theme of Health Diplomacy, is structured through a literature review and applies three steps: data collection, identification of descriptors, and analysis of the contexts available in VHL Site. Results: There is no health diplomacy descriptor in the DeCS vocabulary. Alternatively, it identified the following descriptors: international cooperation, technical cooperation and diplomatic missions with 10,559 references retrieved. However, taking into account the indexation by health diplomacy as a descriptor, 40,920 texts available could be recovered. Conclusions: With the use of the term health diplomacy there is a considerable number of accesses to the content of VHLs data basis. This study concludes that improving DeCS is a strategy to provide quality information to expand the recovery of relevant content in health diplomacy, which promotes the exchange of knowledge about health diplomacy in the VHL cooperative network. Therefore, the exchange of experience between the management systems of health in the region would be a positive impact.
