Maart 2020 Zie webversie ICN Update - maart 2020 Beste collega's, Dit is een gedenkwaardige tijd in de geschiedenis van de moderne verpleegkunde met de coronavirus-pandemie die nog steeds over de hele wereld heerst. Het is daarom met grote droefheid maar ook met een gevoel van enorme trots op u onze NNA's en uw leden dat we u de maandelijkse ICN-update sturen. Het COVID-19-virus heeft zich op het moment van schrijven (30 maart) verspreid naar 199 landen en gebieden en meer dan 30.000 mensen gedood, waaronder verpleegkundigen en andere gezondheidswerkers. Zoals u weet, werken we nauw samen met de WHO om ervoor te zorgen dat verpleegkundigen en andere gezondheidswerkers aan de frontlinie toegang hebben tot de persoonlijke beschermingsmiddelen die ze nodig hebben, evenals tot psychologische ondersteuning. We weten dat we een batterij hebben, maar samen zullen we winnen. We hebben onze leden in de zwaarst getroffen landen geschreven en we zijn hen - u allen - dankbaar dat ze ons op de hoogte hebben gehouden van de situatie in uw landen, met name voor verplegend personeel. Neem contact met ons op en lees onze laatste rapporten op onze website en doe mee aan onze webinars. Hoewel veel van de medewerkers van het hoofdkantoor in Genève vanuit huis werken, blijven de zaken onder leiding van de Zwitserse regering gewoon doorgaan en we werken er hard aan om u bij uw inspanningen te ondersteunen. Afgelopen vrijdag, 27 maart, hielden we de eerste twee, van wat we van plan zijn een reeks webinars met u te zijn, onze NNA's, gericht op het delen van
kennis en informatie over onze eerstelijnsverpleegkundigen en de enorme
uitdagingen waarmee ze worden geconfronteerd. Tijdens het eerste webinar
gaven onze collega's van de Korean Nurses Association en de Taiwanese
Nurses Association en onze Chinese Nurses Association ook een video .
Hun advies over paraatheid en het beperken van het coronavirus werd
gedeeld met verpleegkundigen die het webinar uit meer dan 60 landen
bijwoonden. Zo ook de aangrijpende maar zeer informatieve presentaties in
het tweede webinar, gegeven door Italië, Spanje en Zwitserland werden
goed ontvangen. De twee webinars trokken ongeveer 1000 mensen uit meer
dan 70 landen, die naast onze NNA's ook hoorden van experts van de
Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie. We verwachten deze webinars regelmatig te
houden om ervoor te zorgen dat we alle regio's in de wereld bestrijken waar
onze NNA's het virus dapper bestrijden. Het is absoluut noodzakelijk dat
landen waar het virus al een hoogtepunt heeft bereikt, hun ervaringen en
advies delen met de volgende landen.
Het lijdt geen twijfel dat de wereld de cruciale rol van verpleegkundigen in
dergelijke verwoestende tijden erkent, en het is onze rol om te lobbyen voor
de bescherming van verpleegkundigen en de erkenning van de opofferingen
en het ongelooflijke heldendom van ons personeel.
Annette was onlangs aanwezig bij de lancering van Nursing Now Bahamas
en was verbaasd over de veerkracht van de verpleegsters die in een tijdelijk
ziekenhuis werken, terwijl ze herstellen van Hurrciance Dorian en zich
niettemin voorbereiden op de strijd tegen COVID-19.
Onze gedachten zijn bij alle sterke en toegewijde verpleegsters die ons door
deze crisis heen helpen. Blijf Veilig!
Oprecht,
Annette Kennedy, ICN-president
Howard Catton, ICN Chief Executive Officer

Elke week plaatsen we een update over het virus dat de wereld overspoelt.
Hier zijn onze berichten voor maart.
• Video-update van Howard Catton, CEO van ICN, over het werk van
ICN met betrekking tot COVID-19
• 20 maart: ICN COVID-19 Update: Beroepsrisico's voor
verpleegkundigen moeten tot een minimum worden beperkt om hen in
staat te stellen hun essentiële werk voort te zetten
• 20 maart: groot aantal gezondheidswerkers met COVID-19 in Italië is
een grimmige waarschuwing voor de wereld: de bescherming van
verpleegkundigen en hun collega's moet prioriteit nummer één zijn
• 13 maart: ICN COVID-19 Update: sterke nationale
verpleegverenigingen die vitale leiding geven tijdens COVID-19-crisis
• 6 maart: ICN COVID-19 Update: ICN-president dringt er bij de NNA's
op aan om informatie en lessen te delen en de "Be Ready" -
campagne van de WHO te ondersteunen
We blijven nauw samenwerken met de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie om
ervoor te zorgen dat verpleegkundigen de laatste informatie ontvangen en
om te pleiten voor beschermende uitrusting voor gezondheid en veiligheid op
het werk voor gezondheidswerkers die in de frontlinie van de zorg staan.
Op 15 maart plaatste Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, directeur-generaal
van de WHO een video op Twitter: “Vandaag wil ik een persoonlijk en
oprecht bedankje sturen naar elke gezondheidswerker over de hele wereld,
vooral verpleegkundigen en verloskundigen . Je doet heroïsch werk. We
weten dat deze crisis u en uw gezinnen zwaar belast. We weten dat je tot het
uiterste vastzit. Je hebt onze bewondering, ons respect en onze toewijding
om er alles aan te doen om je te beschermen en je in staat te stellen je werk
te doen. ” Volg hem op @DrTedros
On 1 March, he tweeted, “Nurses have a central role in combating
#2019nCoV & we must do all we can to support them. I thank @ICNurses &CEO @HowardCatton for their solidarrity with the response and for sending
supplies of personal protective equipment to #healthworkers in #China”
This month, we issued a joint statement with other members of the World
Health Professions Alliance calling on governments to prioritise support for
healthcare workers in the front line against coronavirus, particularly through
the supply of crucial personal protective equipment. The statement also
called on manufacturers to increase supplies of protective equipment and
highlighted the need for psychological support services for healthcare
workers, as well as adequate breaks during shifts and time off between
shifts.
Howard, Annette and many of our NNA Presidents have been speaking
regularly to the media, reiterating the call for protection and care of nurses
and other healthcare workers.

NURSING POLICY NEWS
Many of you will remember Mr Elias Aaraj, Executive Director of the Middle
East and North Africa Harm Reduction Association (MENAHRA) who won
the ICN Kim Mo Im Policy Innovation and Impact Award in 2019 for his work
to introduce harm reduction services in Lebanon and various MENA
countries. Elie recently sent us a publication produced by MENAHRA
entitled, Law Enforcement and the Rights of People Living with and Affected
by HIV. A meeting on this topic was held in October last year, organised by
MENAHRA, UNDP, UNAIDS, IDLO, UNODC and LEAHN, to promote the
positive engagement of law enforcement agents in the HIV response in
selected countries in the region, and to create a common understanding and
agreement between partners and participants on strategic human rights-
based HIV programming and a roadmap to improve the legal environment in
the region. You can find the final statement from the meeting here.On 3 March, ICN attended a lunchtime debate to celebrate the International Women’s Day. The event was hosted by UNCTAD, with the Deputy Secretary-General and Geneva-based women ambassadors and current and former trade negotiations. The debate explored the approach and focus of ambassadors and negotiators influencing the negotiation table and outcomes. It also discussed the advocacy of women ambassadors and negotiators for women’s rights. On 5 March, ICN attended the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) at WHO headquarters. The WHO FCTC was developed in response to the globalization of the tobacco epidemic and is an evidence-based treaty that reaffirms the right of all people to the highest standard of health. The Convention represents a milestone for the promotion of public health and provides new legal dimensions for international health cooperation. ICN was informed of the cancellation of the 64th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (scheduled to take place 5-20 March 2020 in New York). A small delegation made up of NNA members from the region also had to cancel both the parallel event and the nurses networking reception they were to host due to concerns regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19). PROGRAMME NEWS ICN TB/MDR-TB Project To mark World TB Day on 24 March, ICN posted a case study on nurses working in paediatric tuberculosis care in Tajikistan and a press release on the World TB Day theme “It’s Time to End TB”, stressing the need to train nurses in the prevention, care and treatment of TB and drug-resistant TB, and getting them to pass on their knowledge to other healthcare staff, in order to improve the care of those suffering from TB.

the Critical Care Nursing Policy Leadership Programme in Dubai planned for 4-7 April 2020. A new date will be announced as soon as possible.
