🌍 Happy International Nurses Day! Today we celebrate the 30 million nurses whose skill, compassion, and courage save and improve lives every single day. This year’s #IND2026 theme #OurNursesOurFuture, Empowered Nurses Save Lives reminds us of a powerful truth: nurses create the strongest, safest, and most resilient health systems when they are truly empowered. At a time of rising health demands and global instability, the evidence is clear: nursing is not a cost, it is a high‑return investment. We call on leaders everywhere to invest for impact: safe working conditions, fair pay, full scope of practice, strong education, and leadership opportunities! 🔗Read more here: bit.ly/42pJ6R8

Tonight I asked Florence what her advice would be to future #nurses trying to lead improvements in care but facing resistance - “be persistent, dont take no for an answer my dear” she said. Thanks @BDandCo for hosting a special evening and your continuing support for #nursing

Happy #IDM2026 to Midwives everywhere. I million more #Midwives, 6 million more #Nurses and 11 million more #healthcare workers are urgently needed to ensure people everywhere have the greatest gift #health #healthforall
ICN - International Council of Nurses@ICNurses

On #IDM2026, ICN stands with midwives worldwide! The call for One Million More Midwives highlights the urgent need to invest in the health workforce. With a global shortage of 5.8 million nurses alongside midwifery gaps, action is critical. Stronger workforce, better care for all!

Just in recent weeks 149 attacks on healthcare have been reported in Lebanon, 26 in Iran and 6 in Israel. Tragically this is an anniversary marking a continuing failure to protect and respect health facilities and staff.
ICN - International Council of Nurses@ICNurses

A decade after @UN #Resolution2286, health workers are still being targeted for doing their jobs. ICN CEO and @WHPAlliance Chair @HowardCatton reminds us: “This is not only a violation of international humanitarian law - it is an attack on humanity itself.” WHPA calls for protection, justice, and an end to impunity. #NotATarget 🔗 Read more here: bit.ly/3PkUDy2

El presidente del CIE, @jlcobosserrano, amplificó la voz de los 30 millones de enfermeras y enfermeros del mundo en el Vaticano durante el encuentro de ONG sobre WASH en los establecimientos de salud. Recordó a los líderes globales una verdad sencilla: «Cuando apoyamos al personal de enfermería, protegemos a los pacientes. Y cuando garantizamos el agua y el saneamiento, hacemos que la atención sanitaria sea verdaderamente segura». La presencia del CIE en este evento reafirma nuestro compromiso de garantizar que la experiencia de la enfermería impulse las políticas, inversiones y acciones globales de WASH. 🔗 Lea más aquí: bit.ly/41Uiibl @WHO @UNICEF @UN_Water @VaticanNews #WASH #Enfermeras #Enfermería #LiderazgoEnEnfermería #SeguridadDelPaciente #SaludGlobal
