The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife. Nurses have always been integral members of IMANA Medical Relief (IMR) Missions, and we applaud their essential contributions to quality health care.

We’re joining WHO in shining a light on the vital role of nurses and midwives in providing health care around the world. Every month, we’ll feature one of the many nurses who have shown tireless hard work, empathy, and dedication to serve on our worldwide relief missions. Each has an important lesson to share on the importance of nurses in our health workforce.
