Methods: Exploratory study conducted with Angolan students who graduated at a public Nursing School in Brazil. Data were collected through a questionnaire developed by the researchers, and culturally validated by two Angolan nurses experts. Results: efforts, challenges and achievements of heroes from both sides of the Atlantic are recognized and reflected in the social reality of the African country. Conclusion: Cooperation agreements are recommended as a path for the sustainability of the health policies at a global perspective.
