We are seeing serious adverse impacts on the health and well-being of populations in both developed and developing countries due to the nursing shortage. Health targets are jeopardised by inadequate investments in human resources and ineffective actions to develop and sustain a strong health workforce. This presentation will focus on today's key challenges for nursing and global health - the worldwide nursing shortage, nurse migration and the working environment fuelling these issues. The presentation will highlight the background and causes of the nursing shortage, explain why today's shortage is different and what can be done to address the crisis.
