Boston, MA – Recognizing the urgent need to elevate nursing and midwifery leadership around the world, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard Kennedy School, and Harvard Graduate School of Education, together with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), have launched the Harvard Global Nursing Leadership Program to give ministry-level nurses and midwives a foundational understanding and field experience in global public health and population health management.
The program formally kicked off on April 29, 2021, during World Immunization Week, with a two-hour virtual workshop featuring a keynote address from Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Year of the Nurse by Jonathan Burdick
In 2019, it was announced that the World Health Organization was designating 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of WHO, stated in the official announcement that the year would be dedicated to highlighting the enormous sacrifices and contributions of nurses and midwives, and to ensuring that we address the shortage of these vital professions.
Little did he know what 2020 had in store for the world. Dr. Jenna A. LoGiudice and Dr. Susan Bartos recently wrote for AACN Advanced Critical Care that WHO s yearlong honor was quickly overshadowed by the international invasion of the novel coronavirus disease 2019.
