NIGH's Story Written in Three Languages

The story of the development of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health — often called NIGH — has recently been published in three languages — English, Portuguese and Spanish — in the trilingual open-access nursing journal called 'Revista Latino-Americana de Emphermagem.'  This story began in 1999 in London, UK at the Centennial Congress of the International Council of Nurses when three Nightingale scholars met to discuss Nightingale's 21st century legacy. As it happened,  Nightingale

                This trilingual article features NIGH's founding credo “We, the nurses and concerned citizens of the global community hereby dedicate ourselves to achieve a healthy world.” — the opening sentence of the Nightingale Declaration for a Healthy World — also available in English, Portuguese and Spanish and many other versions.
               This article was authored by NIGH's International Co-Director Dr. Deva-Marie Beck and is available — via open access —  in three links.  You can download and read each of the full language versions here.
