This book offers the first in-depth account of healthcare policy in
Chile across the twentieth century. It charts how nursing and
nurses intersected with the political context of healthcare, with a
focus on the country's transition across welfare systems. Drawing
on extensive archival research and interviews with nurses and
governmental representatives, this book explores how the nursing
profession implemented and challenged reform, while policies had an
impact on nurses. It analyses nurses' employment and mobility, and
their lobbying through the press and through unions. The authors
demonstrate that while Chilean health policy was influenced by US
cultural politics, reform depended on the flexibility and
willingness of nurses to carry through reforms. By examining the
participation of the largest female professional group, the book
offers new insights into the privatization of society on the
pinnacle of industrial development and seeks to contribute to
contemporary debates on Chile's welfare system. It is a vital read
for scholars researching the history of public health.
