Bonifácia de Oliveira celebrated her 109th birthday in the COVID-19 ward of Tefé Regional Hospital in Brazil's Amazonas state. The centenarian’s strong spirit and sense of humor made a deep impact on the team as they worked to respond to a devastating second wave of COVID-19 sweeping the region earlier this year. “The work of being a doctor, being a nurse, and being human in this whole process has been something that we focus on a lot,” said Dr. Carolina Kennedy, a physician with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). “We already know the patients by name . . . we follow them with the family.” Tefé was among the remote towns in the Amazon region affected by the collapse of the health system in the state capital, Manaus, in January. At the height of the emergency, even critically ill patients could not be referred to better-equipped hospitals in Manaus for treatment. The MSF team in Tefé helped staff at the regional hospital establish protocols that improved the quality of patient care, giving people like Bonifácia a better chance of survival.
