​Maternal Newborn Health Association — CAMNHA
We are helping at risk mothers and newborns and the midwives & nurses who serve with our innovative project called CAMNHA >>>
Planetary Health is the understanding that human health and the health of Earth's natural systems are deeply inter- connected. In simple terms.  For  nurses and midwives, this connection means understanding that climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem disruption directly impact the patients and communities we serve.  Our Planetary Health Virtual Global Conference for Nurses & Midwives spanned the world and all time zones to bring nursing / midwifery expertise to this critical, leading-edge topic during Earth Week 2006 >>>
Thanking Our Collaborating Co-Sponsors
Across the world, 6,500 newborns and 800 pregnant women die every day from preventable causes. These ongoing global tragedies need advocacy to keep humanity committed to concern for the mothers, babies, midwives and nurses facing this challenge. CAMNHA's mission is to develop and ​establish robust, multi-factorial programs in African and Canadian regions —where the lives of mothers and their infants continue at risk—through exchanges in education, advocacy and culture with the collaboration of related experts, advisors and stakeholders.  NIGH's role will be to strengthen the advocacy of Midwives, Nurses and everyone for this significant cause. ​

Keenly relevant to our times...
​yet we have yet to share what we know....
​More than ever before, we are all impacted by the health of everyone else around the world. Yet, most critical global health issues are still under-reported, under-valued and poorly understood. Although nurses and midwives  have important knowledge, experience and wisdom, we have yet to effectively share what we know with the general public — with the global community.

Nurses and midwives are the world’s largest healthcare workforce — 80% of healthcare delivery globally. The International Council of Nurses — a federation of national nursing associations from 132 out of 193 UN Member States — counts the numbers of nurses as 
​at least 29 million strong.  Nurses are consistently named the most trusted of professionals. 
What better voices to call for what needs to happen—for the sake of humanity's health at local, regional and global levels?
​​​We can focus our collective callings — for the sake of 21st century health care and for related social, ecological and human rights issues. While we continue the practices we have already established — we can also be innovative and create new practice arenas. We can model our global advocacy — the fulfillment and satisfaction of being nurses —  inspired to continue bringing health and healing to our world.
Nightingale passed this vision on to us — to remember who we are, what we can do, who we care for and why — and then — to share her vision, as she did, with our world.
