Current global #nursing shortage is 5.8m and the projections only reduce to 4.5m by 2030. We’re simply not doing enough to close the gap. What’s a key missing ingredient? I’d put political will and action right up there.

🌍 En la CSW70, el CIE lanza una alerta global sobre una crisis que amenaza el futuro de la enfermería. “Proteger a las enfermeras y al personal de primera línea es esencial no solo para su seguridad, sino también para la estabilidad económica, el bienestar social y la calidad de la atención que reciben los pacientes.” subrayó el presidente del CIE, @jlcobosserrano. Con un 86% de enfermeras que experimentan violencia por parte de pacientes o del público, y siendo las mujeres el 85% de la profesión, la violencia en el trabajo es una emergencia mundial con un claro componente de género. En las @ONU_es, durante la CSW70, el CIE pidió una acción urgente para proteger a las enfermeras, fortalecer el liderazgo, avanzar en la equidad de género y salvaguardar la fuerza laboral que sostiene los sistemas de salud. 🔗 Más información sobre el evento: bit.ly/4bgAhOK @SigmaNursing @sonsielnurse #CSW70 #Enfermería #Enfermeras #LiderazgoEnEnfermería #NursesforPeace #NoHayExcusa #EquidadDeGénero #FinALaViolencia
