WHA79

Publication description

From WHA to Action: A Nursing Policy Guide for Global Health Advocacy & Decision-Making is ICN’s official report on the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA79), held in Geneva from 18–23 May. ICN convened an in-person and virtual delegation of 150 nursing leaders.

With none of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals on track for 2030, the report connects global decision-making with nursing action. It explains the decisions that matter most for nurses and health systems at WHO’s supreme decision-making body, where 194 Member States debate and adopt global health policies.
