Nursing, Healthcare, and Culture: A View for the Year 2050 From Colombia

Abstract

This column continues the dialogue, begun in the previous issue of Nursing Science Quarterly (Fawcett, Lavoie, & Shyu, 2007), about nursing, healthcare, and culture in the year 2050. The content of each dialogue should help all of us to better understand how culture might inform the advancement of nursing in particular and healthcare in general in the year 2050. I hope you will continue to agree with me that the dialogues are informative and raise issues that challenge all of us who are committed to the advancement of nursing to remain optimistic about the future of nursing and healthcare and persevere in our collaborations with other nurses and other stakeholders in healthcare worldwide.
