Description
Summary:This International Nurses Day, we honour and acknowledge the work of nurses everywhere during this pandemic, and share our vision for a future with far more equitable distribution of health resources. As nurses, we believe in equality of healthcare for all people and that every person deserves to have a healthy life. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we continue to critique and challenge the systemic issues and the policies that contribute to health inequity, and we must do this locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Nurses are the largest group of health professionals in the world and we have the collective strength to enable more equitable and fairer health systems for all people everywhere.
