Health For All

 How can be a Voice to Lead
 Health for All

5. OUR AIM
According to their scope of practice,
nurses provide appropriate, accessible
and evidence-based care.
For Health for All to be achieved
there must be a transformation in the
approach to health and wellbeing
With a core role as a patient advocate,
their scientific reasoning skills,
numbers and spectrum of care across
the continuum, nurses are ideally
placed to lead and inform health
services decision making and policy
development.

6. As one of the most trusted
and respected health
professions, nursing has a
pivotal role to addressing
the multiple health
challenges that are being
faced all over the world.
Nurses are the engine
room of the health system
and are required to
respond to the health
needs of individuals,
communities and the
world.

7. Voice to Lead
How…. ??

8. As An Individual
Each and every nurse has a
vital voice to lead and
make a difference. We are
asking you to use that
voice as a means to
influence and persuade.
Your sphere of influence is
extensive and reaches
individuals, families,
communities, managers,
clinicians and
governments.

9. As a profession
ICN supports strong
nursing leaders to be
at the policy table. As
Dr Judith Shamian
has stated,
“Never has there been a
time when the voices of
nurses are more
urgently needed at high
levels of policy
formation and decision-
making than they are
now.”

10. “Health for All means that health is brought into reach of
everyone in a given country.”
Health in this context means not just the availability of
health services, but a complete state of physical and
mental health that enables a person to lead a socially and
economically productive life (Mahler, 2016)
