Contribution of Advanced Nursing Practice to Quaternary Prevention and Universal Health Coverage.
Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) is a key strategy for achieving universal health coverage as it focuses on the individual. Additionally, it is evidence-based, which improves health outcomes. This strategy contributes to achieving "Health for All," an initiative led by the United Nations within the Sustainable Development Goals, by reducing costs and expanding care in underserved areas. Since its inception in the United States, ANP has taken on roles in diagnosis, prescription, and treatment coordination, becoming established in primary care and other clinical settings. In this century, ANP has strengthened quaternary prevention by protecting individuals from overmedicalization through ethical and personalized care, enhancing the quality of life, and optimizing health system efficiency. This paper will focus on the role of ANP in achieving "<i>One Health</i>," promoted by the World Health Organization, and on how it will contribute to improving coverage and transforming the health system according to the population's needs while maintaining a preventive and holistic.
