The first text mentions a very interesting topic, which is related to the health

planning and how it brings benefits to global health. Here different outcomes from the text are mentioned, including:

• Dissemination of knowledge and evidence for health decision-making
• knowledge management
• health workforce information and knowledge base strengthened
• technical support , wich focus in difficulties in order to improve the production, distribution.
• norms, standards and measurement tools for quantify and maximize the security level in all stages of health care.

On the other hand the second text has relation with the globalization and the challenges it brings to the nursing.

With the process of globalization varied advances have been developed, however, still remains variables to consider in relation with the health of the poor countries, the increase of the pollution, new diseases and the urbanization.

Considering the different forms and trens of the globalization, diverse challenges for the nursing have appeared, including:

• The intention in this text was to open up space for reflection
•  In the field of formal education in Nursing, we have to search for, obligatorily, an emancipating education, as an important dimension to form professionals context of care
• the power of research in Nursing must be to consider it as an important space for care
• it is essential to strengthen the discipline of Nursing.
