Geneva, Switzerland; Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; 1 November 2018 – Dr Isabelle Skinner, CEO of the International Council of Nurses (ICN), visited the Association of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (ARNM) in Winnipeg yesterday to view how Canadian nurses deliver care and enhance the lives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in rural communities.
“Nurses in Canada are working towards re-designing health system integration with the goals of integrating community health workers into multidisciplinary teams in meaningful roles,” noted Dr Skinner. “I am highly impressed with the work they do to deliver people-centred care to rural and remote communities and improve access to healthcare for all.”
