The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared 2020 the "Year of the Nurse and Midwife". On May 5th of this year, for the annual celebration of the SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands campaign, the WHO will focus on the critical role of nurses and midwives in promoting public health. The brain drain of healthcare workers (HCWs) leads to unequal distribution of nurses and midwives around the world, which affects the quality of care provided to patients. This phenomenon should be addressed as a global problem as it highlights staff shortages in the health system.
世界卫生组织(WHO)宣布 2020 年为“护士和助产士年”。今年 5 月 5 日,为了庆祝 SAVE LIVES:清洁双手运动的年度活动,世卫组织将重点关注护士和助产士在促进公共卫生方面的关键作用。医护人员(HCWs)的人才流失导致全球护士和助产士分布不均,影响了向患者提供的护理质量。这一现象应该被视为一个全球性问题,因为它突显了卫生系统人手短缺的问题。
