El món que ens espera

After two years of intense research against covid-19, Oriol Mitjà returns to his second home, Papua New Guinea, where he has been fighting the diseases of the poor for more than a decade. At Lihir Hospital, "the white doctor with serious eyes and a kind smile" treats patients with pustules and unusual wounds from our Western perspective. And between his work as a doctor, between walks on pristine beaches and visits to isolated villages, Dr. Mitjà finds space to reflect, in this honest and intimate story, on the contradictions between prestige and usefulness, between the longing for excellence and peace of mind, and how it has been psychologically affected by the clash with a political and media reality far removed from its values ??and reasoning as a scientist. And, of course, to address the big issues that concern us all. Will there be other pandemics? When will they arrive? How should we prepare? What can we expect in the coming years? What will cities be like, science, work? What will the wars of the future look like? Dr. Oriol Mitjà predicts the world that awaits us and proposes the changes that need to be implemented from now on so that the future is more hopeful.
