Abstract

Making up half the global health workforce, 22 million nurses and 2 million midwives provide essential healthcare across diverse settings (World Health Organization (WHO) 2020). In recognition of the valuable work nurses and midwives do, and in line with the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, the WHO has designated 2020 the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife. This year celebrates the work of nurses and midwives, highlighting the challenges and conditions they often face, and advocating for increased investments in the nursing and midwifery workforce.
