This comprehensive book delves into the intricate history of healthcare policy in Chile, spanning the twentieth century. It provides a detailed account of how nursing and nurses intertwined with the political landscape of healthcare, particularly during the country's transition from welfare systems. Through extensive archival research and in-depth interviews with nurses and governmental representatives, the book explores the ways in which the nursing profession implemented and challenged reforms, while also examining the impact of policies on nurses.
The authors analyze the employment and mobility of nurses, as well as their advocacy efforts through the press and unions. They demonstrate that while Chilean health policy was influenced by US cultural politics, the success of reform depended on the flexibility and willingness of nurses to carry through these changes. By examining the participation of the largest female professional group, the book offers valuable insights into the privatization of society at the height of industrial development and contributes to ongoing debates about Chile's welfare system.
This book is a must-read for scholars interested in the history of public health, offering a rich and detailed perspective on the evolving healthcare landscape in Chile.
