Globally, 70% of the Health and Social Workforce Are Women: Respect, Appreciate and Support Them – World Health Day

By World Health Organization*

What is World Health Day 2020 about?

7 April 2020 is the day to celebrate the work of nurses and midwives and remind world leaders of the critical role they play in keeping the world healthy. Nurses and other health workers are at the forefront of COVID-19 response – providing high quality, respectful treatment and care, leading community dialogue to address fears and questions and, in some instances,  collecting data for clinical studies. Quite simply, without nurses, there would be no response.
