WHO Highlights Global Nursing Gaps Despite Workforce Growth on International Nurses Day 2026

WHO Highlights Global Nursing Gaps Despite Workforce Growth on International Nurses Day 2026

On International Nurses Day 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) spotlighted the critical role of nurses and midwives in strengthening global health systems. The WHO Academy emphasized both the progress in the global nursing workforce and the persistent inequalities that threaten universal health coverage (UHC). According to the State of the World’s Nursing 2025 report, the global nursing workforce has grown from 27.9 million in 2018 to 29.8 million in 2023. However, this growth is uneven, with 78% of nurses concentrated in countries that represent only 49% of the global population. This disparity poses a significant challenge to global health planning, as many regions remain under-resourced, affecting access to essential care. The Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centres in Nursing and Midwifery is central to addressing these issues, supporting WHO programs and strengthening research, training, and health system capacity worldwide.
