Launched in 2022 in response to an outpouring of nurse-led support following the war in Ukraine, #NursesforPeace has grown into a sustained humanitarian and advocacy programme supporting nurses and National Nurses Associations (NNAs) in 13 countries and territories affected by conflict, disasters, and crises. Delivered with partners including Direct Relief, #NursesforPeace provides practical support where it is needed most, through emergency assistance, training, equipment, medical supplies, mental health support, leadership development, and high-level advocacy.

Your support helps us to stand with nurses on the front lines of humanitarian emergencies and enables them to keep bringing care, health, hope and dignity to their communities.

Watch a short video message from ICN CEO Howard Catton on World Humanitarian Day discussing how #NursesforPeace is supporting nurses as leaders in crisis settings around the world.
