MAY 12th - 2008 THEME

This Year the IND THEME for 2008 is Delivering Quality, Serving Communities : Nurses Leading Primary Health Care. The content of this year's kit, including the poster image are posted here as downloadable documents for use by individual nurses, associations, health ministries and health institutions. This material has already been disseminated to national nurses' associations worldwide. Though mainly planned around May 12 each year, IND activities continue for much of the year by nurses and others. So nurses support, encourage and promote all over the world to make extended use of the Delivering Quality, Serving Communities : Nurses Leading Primary Health Care kit throughout the year, through individual action and group activities.
