This special day of action was established in 1965 by the International Council of Nurses (ICN), an association that unites 130 national nursing organisations. The date chosen commemorates the birthday of the British nurse Florence Nightingale, who is regarded as a pioneer of modern nursing.

The global goals of achieving comprehensive healthcare and well-being for all can only be realised through significant investment in the nursing sector. The Day of Care offers us the opportunity to demonstrate the potential of care when we have the necessary resources at our disposal. Join us and become part of the global community of carers as we work to steer population health towards a positive future.

We are focussing on developments and innovations in nursing and their impact on future healthcare.
