The confluence of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the World Health Organization (WHO) designation of April 7 as World Health Day is fast approaching.

Nonetheless, the organization is asking its global partners to take the time to recognize the work of nurses and midwives, acknowledging the “critical role they play in keeping the world healthy,” marking the raison d'être for the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.
