While statistics on the size of the shortage vary, there is consensus among stakeholders that the global shortfall of nurses numbers in the millions with some world regions and nations being disproportionately impacted. It is with this in mind that Health Carousel puts forth the following principled approach to the ethical recruitment and sustainability of global nurses.
