Strategic directions for nursing and midwifery in central Asia (2025–2030)

Overview

Strategic directions for nursing and midwifery in central Asia (2025–2030) envisions building more resilient health systems by strengthening nursing and midwifery workforces through a strategic and systematic approach. This framework aligns with the four key areas outlined in the Global strategic directions for nursing and midwifery: education, service delivery, leadership and jobs. The initiative presents an opportunity for central Asian countries (CACs) to collaborate and coordinate efforts to enhance nursing and midwifery across the region. It also highlights potential collaboration with the WHO Regional Office for Europe and outlines strategic priorities for engagement with international donors and partners. These directions were developed in collaboration with the ministries of health of CACs and are grounded in an approach to accelerate progress across various sectors.
