The International Council of Nurses (ICN) will deliver a number of interventions on key agenda items at the 70th World Health Assembly (WHA) which kicked off today in Geneva.
ICN led a delegation of nurses to ensure the involvement of nursing in all policies in which the role of nursing must be strengthened and supported. Of particular interest to ICN were the following agenda items:
* Human resources for health and implementation of the outcomes of the UN Commissionof Health Employment and Economic Growth * Promoting the health of refugees and migrants
* Global vaccine action plan
* Draft global action plan on the public health response to dementia
* Report of the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity: implementation plan
* Cancer prevention and control in the context of an integrated approach
ICN also gathered with nurses working in other NGOs and nurses from member countries’ delegations on the occasion of a luncheon, offering the opportunity for all to exchange and consult on the profession at a global policy level.
The WHA, which is being held from 22-31 May, will also see the election of a new Director General. ICN has written to the three candidates for this position to ensure that nursing plays astronger role in the development and implementation of WHO global action plans and policies.
