It is not that we live in times of crisis, but that time itself is in crisis. This has been said by Daniel Innerarity, one of the most poignant philosophers of our time. Perhaps this is one of the greatest differences between the Escuela de Salud Pública de México (ESPM) of 1922, when it was founded, and that of 2022 when it turns a hundred, now housed by the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública. Both moments have been turbulent and fraught with uncertainty. In 1922, the revolutionary upheaval, threats of foreign invasion and the influenza pandemic gave way to apparent calm, only to be followed by the assassination of the former president of Mexico, who had been reelected to take office again, and by the Cristeros War a few years later. Those were, no doubt, times of crisis.
