La profesionalización de la enfermería en argentina: Disputas políticas e institucionales durante el peronismo

Abstract

This paper discusses the professionalization of nurses in Argentina during Peron's administration (1946-1955). We will focus on two nursing schools during such period: Escuela de Enfermas de la Secretaría de Salud Pública (1947) and Escuela de Enfermeras «7 de mayo» member of Fundación Eva Perón (1950). We will analyze the institutional disputes over budgetary positions in the context of greater governement intervention in public health issues.
