El año 2020 iba a ser el año de la Enfermería. La campaña NursingNow promovida desde la Organización Mundial de la Salud pretendía subrayar la importancia de la profesión encargada de prestar cuidados a individuos y poblaciones. Planes, proyectos u objetivos que quedaron en suspenso, como tantas cosas, con la irrupcion de la epidemia de Covid-19. El impacto para los sistemas sociales, politicos, economicos y, por supuesto, los sistemas sanitarios, seria devastador. En ese clima de urgencia y desconcierto, el personal de enfermeria se presto a ofrecer cuidados en todos los lugares del mundo. Este libro rescata las experiencias personales, el diseño de programas de salud, las dificultades, pero tambien los desafios en ambitos como la gestion sanitaria o el impacto en la salud mental del grupo mas numeroso entre todos los profesionales sanitarios.

Un entramado de experiencias analizadas para ampliar el conocimiento en la epistemologia del cuidado y su impacto en la salud publica.
