This issue of Apuntes includes articles on health and public policies in Peru, Nicaragua, and Argentina. The studies on Peru analyze the effectiveness of strategies to combat child malnutrition and study medical students’ university educations and their learning experiences during their work in the Rural Urban Marginal Health Service (SERUMS). The article on Nicaragua analyzes improvements in the performance of health sector workers. Another study reviews the publication Archivos de la Secretaria de Salud Pública de Argentina between 1946 and 1950 and the role it played in disseminating information on Argentine medical science. The final article, on the process of creation of the World Health Organization in the context of the start of the Cold War, examines the legacy of this United Nations agency.
