For all countries to reach Sustainable Development Goal 3 on health and well-being, WHO estimates that the world will need an additional 9 million nurses and midwives by the year 2030. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) (2021) projects that over 13 million nurses worldwide are required to bridge the gap in the nursing shortage by 2030.
