The International Conference on Nursing and Healthcare Without Borders in a Post-COVID World (NHWB2024) – Held in Nagoya, Japan on Friday and Saturday, 29-30 November 2024»
Welcome to NHWB2024
Welcome to the International Conference on Nursing and Healthcare Without Borders in a Post-COVID World to be held Friday and Saturday, November 29 to 30, 2024 in Nagoya, Japan. NHWB2024 is being convened as a small, special, hybrid event for nurses and healthcare workers in Japan and overseas to engage in meaningful dialog about the future of nursing and healthcare planning. The theme of NHWB2024 is Adapting to Change.
As the world is emerging from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, we must understand that COVID-19 was not the first, nor the last pandemic — it should be viewed as a ‘global wake up call’ to be prepared for the next pandemic or catastrophic health event. For these reasons, NHWB2024 will be held alongside the International Conference on Public Health and WASH in a Post-COVID World (PH-WASH2024).
NHWB2024 will be opportunity for nursing professionals and practitioners, academics, researchers, nursing students and others in the healthcare industry to have a ‘voice’ in this important post-COVID discussion. Nurse researchers and educators must remain vigilant against health challenges, such as we witnessed with COVID-19. Nurses have the power to instill awareness and reliable health information to others globally. Much remains to be discovered in our ability to captivate and galvanize the next generation of nurse and healthcare workers. So join us in Nagoya, Japan for NHWB 2024, as we enter the post-COVID world!

About NHWB2024
The true heroes of the war against the COVID-19 pandemic have been the nurses and healthcare workers who put their own lives at risk to save tens of millions of infected people around the world. The pandemic not only strained global healthcare systems in cities big and small, but it also highlighted the shortage of nurses globally. The numbers are staggering: between the years 2030 to 2040, the US, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, China, the UK, France, Germany and other countries will each have shortages of over 500,000 nurses. Across Europe, the Americas and Asia, hospitals and clinics everywhere are understaffed. The pandemic revealed this problem, and the pandemic also caused many nurses to leave the profession due to the stress of working 12 hour days and feeling burned out.
The pandemic did, however, have a positive impact on technology for nurses and healthcare systems as innovative tools have improved patient care and reduced workloads. New innovations such as telemedicine, electronic health records (EHRs), and so-called ‘wearables’ such as heart monitors and ECG monitors are just a few examples of tools that allow nurse and doctors to monitor patients virtually.
Besides the pandemic, other problems exist for nursing, such humanitarian crises caused by wars, poverty, other infectious diseases, aging societies, mental health and climate change. Therefore, we are convening this International Conference on Nurses and Healthcare Without Borders in a Post-COVID World to discuss, engage and inspire nurses in the field and those considering careers in nursing.
The final deadline for proposals is Thursday, November 14, 2024!
