Overview

According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN), a shortage of nurses is a global health emergency. Especially considering the challenges of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the ICN reports that health systems around the world will only start to recover from the effects of the pandemic and be rebuilt when there is sufficient investment in a well-supported global nursing workforce. Across Asia there is also a nursing shortage, and here in Japan, the Ministry of Health has warned of a severe shortage of nurses by 2025.
