The document discusses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the role of nurses in achieving them. It provides an overview of the 17 SDGs and their targets, with a focus on Goals 2, 3, 5, and 6 which relate to health. Nurses can help achieve the health-related SDGs through their work improving nutrition, reducing maternal and child mortality, combating diseases, and increasing access to water and sanitation. To achieve all the SDGs, the document argues nurses need support through adequate training, resources, working conditions, and involvement in research and community education.

2. Introduction
 As usual, every day of the date of 12th
May, per annum
nurses cerebrate the so called “Nurses’ Day”
deliberately, to remember the founder of modern
nursing, Bi Florence Nightingale.
 The history tells us that Bi Florence Nightingale was
born in Florence, Italy on May 12, 1820 [hence, her
name Florence]. She died on August 13, 1910.
 She was the younger of two children. Nightingale’s
affluent (rich) British family belonged to elite social
circles.

3. Introduction…
 During the Crimean War, she and a team of nurses
improved the unsanitary conditions at a British base
hospital, reducing the death count by two-thirds.
 Her writings sparked worldwide health care reform.
 In 1860 she established St. Thomas’ Hospital
and the Nightingale Training School for Nurses.

4. Introduction…
 As a protocol, TANNA, in collaboration with the International
Council of Nurses [ICN], every year, proposes a theme that
carries the massage during the nurses day cerebration.
 This year’s nurses’ day theme reads:
“Nurses: A Voice to Lead, Achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals”.
 It is difficult to achieve what you don’t know. One of the
purposes of this presentation is to brief you my fellow nurses
on what these SDGs are, and where our voice is needed, so
that the timely achievement of these GOALS is possible.
