Nurses' Voices Speakers' Series |
|
|
Building on the July 2023 Virtual Launch of our ‘Nurses’ Voices’ Grassroots to Global’ campaign, this monthly Nurses' Voices Speakers Series has been created to provide a global public speaking platform for nurses—including students and retirees—as thought influences in our troubled world.
This Series will feature leading nurses—from all six World Health Organization (WHO) Regions—AFRO, EMRO, EURO, PAHO/AMRO, SEARO and WPRO—to share their stories of concern, compassion, and commitment to humanity’s health. In collaboration with the CIFAL York Centre at York University and the United Nations Institute for Training & Research (UNITAR), the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH) is Co-Sponsoring this Speakers' Series. |
