Chronicling the history of El Materno, Colombia's oldest maternity and neonatal health center, the book explores the impact of neoliberal health policies on medical practices over decades. Through collaborative ethnography, Abadía-Barrero reveals how privatization threatens traditional healthcare methods and erodes public hospital funding. Despite systemic challenges, the dedicated staff and students at El Materno innovate to deliver quality, noncommodified care. The narrative emphasizes the importance of situating medical practices within broader political contexts, highlighting ongoing struggles and resilience.
