Bearing witness to a Pandemic

In this book, Bupa Chile pays tribute to the women and men whose dedication has been a credit to their profession in the worst pandemic of the last 100 years.

In the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, these professionals have been put to the test at the toughest of times and have displayed the utmost skill and ability in the managing, serving, healing, relieving or simply being there for people.

Based on 80 interviews carried out in Chile and Spain, these real-time reports show how this crisis has affected people deeply and helps us understand the huge task undertaken by those on the front line, leaving a legacy for future generations.

«Your stories have to be valued for the skilled care they describe. Nurses around the world raise their voices with you in pride. Thank you for all you have done and for sharing your story».

barbara stilwell Executive Director of Nursing Now Global Campaign

«These nurses have faced the challenges of the pandemic and other healthcare problems with compassion, care, resilience, creativity and great leadership skills, as we will see from the reports and stories in this book».
