World Health Day 2020

In this International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, World Health Day 2020 will shine a light on the vital role played by nurses and midwives in providing health care around the world, and call for a strengthening of the nursing and midwifery workforce. 

On 7 April, “dawn to dusk” advocacy events will be held around the world to mark World Health Day. One of the main events will be the launch of the first ever State of the World’s Nursing Report 2020. The report will provide a global picture of the nursing workforce and support evidence-based planning to optimize the contributions of this workforce to improve health and well-being for all. The report will set the agenda for data collection, policy dialogue, research and advocacy, and investment in the health workforce for generations to come. A similar report on the Midwifery workforce will be launched in 2021.

Goals

1. Trigger a wave of public appreciation for the work of nurses and midwives and the part they play in delivering health care
2. Raise the profile of nurses and midwives within the health workforce
3. Catalyze support and investment in nurses and midwives. 

Facts and figures

• Nurses and midwives provide a broad range of essential health services close to the community and in all levels of health facility.
• The world needs 18 million more health workers to achieve and sustain universal health coverage by 2030. Approximately half of that shortfall – 9 million health workers – are nurses and midwives.
• Globally, 70% of the health and social workforce are women. Nurses and midwives represent a large portion of this.
• Midwifery, where care includes proven interventions for maternal and newborn health as well as for family planning could avert over 80% of all maternal deaths, stillbirths and neonatal deaths.

Corporate Social Responsibility Health Care Programs

Corporate Social Responsibility is a management concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders. CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives (“Triple-Bottom-Line- Approach”), while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. In this sense it is important to draw a distinction between CSR, which can be a strategic business management concept, and charity, sponsorship's or philanthropy. Even though the latter can also make a valuable contribution to poverty reduction, will directly enhance the reputation of a company and strengthen its brand, the concept of CSR clearly goes beyond that. 

The Companies Act 2013 states that companies having a net worth of Rs 500 crore or more or a turnover of Rs 1,000 crore or more or a net profit of Rs 5 crore or more during any financial year should have a CSR committee of the board consisting of three or more directors. 

CSR first evolved with big manufacturing companies focusing on programmes relating to health, education and sanitation aimed at the local community where the company's factories were located. This was followed by CSR by FMCG companies who embarked on brand-led initiatives like laundry projects or a farm to fork initiative aimed at plugging supply chain inefficiencies. The service sector boom saw the emergence of foundations that focused on a specific area like education, IT literacy with a pan India focus.
