World Health Day 2020

State of the World’s Nursing 2020 report

World Health Organisation (WHO) In this International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, on World Health Day (April 7) we celebrate the work of nurses and midwives and remind world leaders of the critical role they play in keeping the world healthy. WHO and partners released the first ever State of the World’s Nursing 2020 report. The report highlights the current status of nursing around the world (with regional and country data) and makes a series of recommendations to strengthen the nursing and midwifery workforce - a need that is being starkly highlighted by the current COVID-19 pandemic.
