The Global Partners Meeting (GPM) for Nursing and Midwifery (formerly the “Triad Meeting”) provides a strategic opportunity for policy dialogue and planning on nursing and midwifery contributions to stronger and more resilient communities and health systems. It is also a critical time to take stock of progress on the Global Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery 2021-2025. The GPM will occur at the midpoint of data reporting for the State of the World’s Nursing (SoWN) 2025 report, an important time to review data and address any gaps prior to the close of reporting for this landmark report.
The format is a hybrid meeting with physical space for approximately 150 proportionally-representative, in-person delegates. The virtual portion will be live-streamed on the online conference platform established by the WHO Health Workforce department. Simultaneous interpretation in the WHO languages will be available for both remote and in-person participants. WHO will convene Global Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officers separately, virtually and in-person, on the afternoon of 24 May.
The meeting objectives are to:
- Enhance nursing and midwifery leadership at national, regional and international levels to in the context of broader health workforce, health systems and global health priorities
- Take stock of progress and accelerate implementation of the Global Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery 2021-2025; and
- Strengthen the engagement in and data reporting capacity for the State of the World's Nursing 2025 and future State of the World’s Midwifery reports.
