WHO WPRO Nursing Databanks

Date: 2012
WHO CC role: Michele Rumsey, Jodi Thiessen, Ranira Moodley

In collaboration with WHO WPRO, WHO CC UTS has facilitated the collection of nursing and midwifery data from the Pacific Island countries to update the existing databanks being developed so country profiles can be maintained.

The ongoing work of updating data on nursing and midwifery workforce, including a historical context, will inform policy directions for WHO and other workforce policy bodies.
