The COVID-19 pandemic brings to light the urgent need to strengthen the global health workforce, and nurses in particular. The World Health Organisation (WHO) released a report with the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and Nursing Now titled 'The State of the World's Nursing 2020' which provides an in-depth look at the largest component of the health workforce.

Here are some of the key findings from the report:

- Nurses account for more than half of all the world's health workers

- There are just under 28 million nurses worldwide

 

- Between 2013 and 2018, nursing numbers increased by 4.7 million. But this still leaves a global shortfall of 5.9 million.
