After the death of her 14-year-old daughter (on October 24, 2011) due to medical errors in the Intensive Care Unit, her then existing and strong perception that the Healthcare assistance and Education practices in this area had to change fast increased emphatically. By going through this desolated process of transmuting the pain into something that gave a new meaning to both suffering and death itself, I realized that she should, as a mother and a healthcare professional, interfere and unite her efforts with so many other efforts in the world to change the course of this story in a constructive manner. She wants to prevent other people and their families from suffering other damage of this nature and more pain in such an ordinary manner. The underreported hospital errors are the 3rd cause of death nowadays. Thus, with the support of the Medical Superintendence of the Hospital Samaritano, it was founded the ""Instituto de Medicina Integrativa ""Ana Gabriela"" – Assistência, Educação e Pesquisa em Saúde"" (Integrative Medicine Institute ""Ana Gabriela"" – Healthcare Assistance, Education and Research) from January 2014. Three years later, this project was implemented at the Hospital Paulistano, where it existed to date. This view of paradigmatic changes, multiple improvements is now opened to partnerships with other healthcare assistance and education institutions across the Brazilian territory. We are at everyone's disposal so that the best happens to all, always.
