ICN intervention at @WHO #WHA76 on #Infection #Prevention & Control: “#Nurses are a vital force to drive strategy planning and implementation at country and regional levels. ICN strongly promotes the leadership role of nurses in #IPC teams.” bit.ly/3nhf5gq #NursesWHA

Tobacco is one of the biggest public health threats we've ever faced. 20 years ago, @WHO Member States unanimously adopted the 1st public health treaty negotiated under the WHO Constitution – the @FCTCofficial. Today, the 🌍 is still benefiting from the impacts of this historic decision.

What we’re discussing at #WHA76 -- it all depends on ensuring health workers are supported and protected. We face a major challenge: a projected shortage of 10 million health workers by 2030. Thank, @SanaGulBaloch1, for reminding us that it’s time to take accountability and act!
