Based on the Virtual Launch of our ‘Nurses’ Voices’ Grassroots to Global’ campaign, this monthly Nurses' Voices Speaker Series provides a global public speaking platform for nurses—including students and retirees—as thought influences in our troubled world.
This Series features leading nurses—from all six World Health Organization (WHO) Regions—AFRO, EMRO, EURO, PAHO/AMRO, SEARO and WPRO—to share their stories of courage, concern, compassion, and commitment to humanity’s health. In collaboration with the CIFAL York Centre at York University, the United Nations Institute for Training & Research (UNITAR), and the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy (INCA), the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH) is Co-Sponsoring this Speakers' Series.
