Pertama kali tahu sosok beliaunya ketika mencari referensi terkait peran Perawat Puskesmas dalam Perkesmas. Very surprised! ternyata ada ‘peneliti luar negeri’ yang pernah meneliti isu serupa di tahun 1990-an. Peneliti, penulis, konsultan, direktur serta akademisi ini mengupas tuntas bagaimana peran dan tugas Perawat Puskesmas di pedesaan Indonesia. Walaupun ditulis beberapa tahun lalu, namunisu ini masih relevan dengan keadaan Perawat terkini di Negara kita. Sesuai dengan mandat Undang-undang Negara kita, Perawat hanya diperbolehkan melakukan Asuhan keperawatan. Tetapi fakta di lapangan menunjukkan hingga saat ini masih ada beberapa Perawat yang melakukan tindakan di luar kewenangannya. Hal ini menjadi menarik kita kaji lebih lanjut terutama di era Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional dan telah disahkannya Undang-undang Keperawatan di tahun 2014. Buku ini saya rekomendasikan untuk dibaca oleh masyarakat keperawatan Indonesia, pembuat Kebijakan serta pihak lain yang tertarik dengan isu serupa.
