International Nurses Day 2013
Closing The Gap: Millennium Development Goals. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
 · IND Kit 2013
· Poster
The IND theme for 2013 is: Closing The Gap: Millennium Development Goals 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. The theme that ICN has chosen for this year is Closing the Gap: the Millennium Development Goals: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. This slogan is intended to be a countdown to 2015, with an emphasis on the health related goals.
As the largest health care profession in the world, there is no doubt that nurses are key to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Nurses are often the only health professionals accessible to many people in their lifetime. So nurses are particularly well placed and often the most innovative in reaching underserved and disadvantaged populations. Nurses are educated to understand the complex nature of maintaining health and wellness, and the impact of psychosocial and socio-economic factors such as poverty, unemployment and ethnicity. They see the context for wellbeing and accordingly act so as to reach beyond the immediate presenting problems.
