Abstract

Desafíos para la salud colectiva en el cuidado con personas, familias y comunidades, vulnerables socialmente, frente a la pandemia

Desafios para a saúde coletiva no cuidado de pessoas, famílias e comunidades vulneráveis socialmente durante a pandemia

In times of a pandemic, this reflection conceives two enormous challenges for nursing in collective health. Politically, the challenge is to vindicate and recognize care as a creative and transformative action taken by individuals, families, and communities in territories to sustain life and mitigate human suffering through health promotion, disease prevention, and care. Ethically, the task is to clearly understand safe, supportive, and sustainable actions to strengthen equity and ethos of caring as a project-oriented to welfare, compassion, and the defense of the right to health.
