Happy international Nurse Day,
Happy International Nurse Day,
On the International Day of Nurses and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, the World Health Organization (WHO) joins hundreds of partners around the world to highlight the importance of nurses in health care and thanks nurses for what they do.
This year's name is "Nursing of World to Health".
Historically, as well as today, rivers have been at the forefront of the fight against epidemics and epidemics - providing high quality and respectable treatment and care. They are always the first and sometimes the only health professional who sees people and the quality of their initial assessment, care and treatment is important.
Although nurses make up more than half of all health workers in the world, there is an immediate shortage of nurses worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries, which still need 9.9 million more nurses.
The Covid-19 epidemic is a perfect reminder of the important role of nurses. Without nurses and other health workers, we will not win against outbreaks, we will not achieve sustainable development goals or universal health coverage.
As the day progresses, we urge countries to make sure:
Occupational safety and health of nurses and all health workers, including unobstructed access to personal protective equipment in particular so that they can provide safe care and reduce infection in health care settings.
Nurses and all health care workers have access to mental health support, timely pay, sick leave and insurance; As well as access to very advanced knowledge and guidance to respond to all health needs with an outbreak.
Nurses are provided with the necessary financial support and other resources to help respond to and control COVID-19 and future outbreaks.
In this year of nurses and midwives, more than ever before, governments need to support and invest in their nurses. COVID19 reinforces the need to invest in nursing jobs, education, leadership.
In April, the WHO and partners released the first-ever State the World's Nursing Report, which provides a quick overview of the global nursing workforce as well as highlighting the scale of the challenge we are facing and providing governments with possible policies to invest in nursing. Health can be a reality for all.
By developing their nursing workspaces, countries can achieve the triple effect of improving health, promoting gender equality and supporting economic growth. Strengthening nursing will have the added benefit of promoting gender equity (SDG5), contributing to economic growth (SDG8) and supporting other sustainable development goals.
We hope that as many people as possible from around the world will participate in this global moment of reflection by sharing one of our social media tiles (see below), with the hashtag #SocialHeroes. Alternatively, you can share a photo of yourself with a burning candle with the hashtag #RememberHealthheroes or record a short video of you or your colleagues to show your respect for lost health workers. Nationwide epidemic.
