With the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the healthcare system had to urgently adapt to care for pregnancies and childbirth within a collapsed healthcare sector due to the care for Covid patients. After a few months we are now facing a "new normal" or "post-pandemic" situation in which some of the changes that affected our day-to-day life have continued to apply. In this new context, "care for life" takes on a new meaning and a need for rethinking. In this issue of Musas, coordinated by Josefina Goberna-Tricas, we address these changes both in the field of women with high-level jobs and those dedicated to caring for the elderly and vulnerable people, as well as in occupations in the health sector, adopting an intersectional approach. We end with a couple of formative proposals that, without a doubt, constitute a substantial contribution to the development and incorporation, in professional practices in the field of healthcare, of new paradigms and models.
