CGFNS International will be hosting two powerful events you don’t want to miss at this year’s NGO CSW69 Forum. There has never been a more pivotal time in global healthcare for elevating the role that nurses and other health workers play in advancing public health, care model evolution, technology integration, and global health policy. We’ll be sharing the stage with international thought leaders and stakeholders to talk about nursing workforce development, nurse entrepreneurship, and career recognition for health workers.
Join us for these two events on March 17.
