Nursing and midwifery

The World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization designated 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife, in honor of the 200th birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, known as the founder of modern nursing.

The year 2020 is significant for the WHO in the context of nursing and midwifery strengthening for universal health coverage. The WHO is leading the development of the first-ever State of the World’s Nursing report, which will be launched in 2020, prior to the 73rd World Health Assembly in May. The WHO is also a partner on The State of the World’s Midwifery 2020 report, which will be launched around the same time. 

Practitioners are invited to get involved with WHO with the year-long global focus on nurses and midwives. Click here for more information.
