This section will explain the continuing threat of applying weapons of mass destruction and how this affected European countries.
The woman in the front is another outstanding aspect in the sanitary aid, in the periods of war.
His incorporation and contribution was decisive in the organization and care of the sick.
Martinez has pointed out that to explain the contribution of women in the front, which transcends countries and borders is the figure of Marie Curie, with its discovery of radio and polonium, the contribution of mobile radiography on the battlefield and the application of their research in the treatment of cancer.
To represent this space, the laboratory of the Polish scientist has been recreated, the first person to receive two Nobel prizes in different specialties in physics and chemistry.
She became the director of the Radiology Service of the French Red Cross and created France's first military radiology center, operational at the end of 1914.
For its part, Ascensión Sánchez, owner of Farmacia Sánchez Carrascosa, has donated items such as laboratory scales, monocular microscopes, flasks, funnels, test tubes, instruments to enhance pills, mortars and jars with chemicals labeled 1930.
Within this block dedicated to women in the front, the formation of the nursing staff as a professional group in armed conflicts will be highlighted.
It will be explained how nurses and ladies nurses marked a turning point in the field of nursing by regulating their studies and training, creating large organizations to save thousands of wounded.
