#NURSESFORPEACE
ICN stands in solidarity with nurses across the globe who are working on the frontlines of humanitarian health care emergencies, whether human induced wars and political conflicts or natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and droughts. ICN is immensely proud to support such courageous and resilient nurses who continue to provide much-needed care despite the personal dangers they face in their work.
To express its solidarity, ICN launched the #NursesforPeace campaign to raise funds for nurses working on the frontlines of emergency situations and to draw public attention to the associated threats to public health care systems. Through its dedicated humanitarian efforts and funding, ICN has already supported nurses in multiple crisis zones, including Lebanon, Sri Lanka, the Bahamas, Ukraine and Afghanistan.
