We were delighted to see this article from the UCLA School of Nursing on the vital role nurses have in global health care. The article cited statistics from the Boston-based Partners in Health showing that 90% of all health care services worldwide are provided by nurses, especially in impoverished countries.
It quotes Afaf I. Meleis—distinguished alumna and former dean, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, who calls nurses “vital partners” in the global movement towards integrated, population-based care. “As frontline providers of care, they are uniquely positioned to be the driving force in mobilizing and promoting teamwork and collaboration to provide effective and equitable healthcare for all populations around the world,” she explains.
The information in this piece is truly inspiring.

Where would the world be without nurses?
