Vision

The vision of the Nursing and Midwifery Development Foundation is to improve healthcare outcomes by supporting nurses, midwives, and other healthcare professionals in conflict-affected and underserved areas globally.

Mission

We empower nurses, midwives, and other healthcare professionals worldwide by strengthening continued professional development, supporting workforce capacity, and providing operational and policy support.
