La néphrologie pédiatrique (NP) a connu ces dernières années des progrès impressionnants en matière de soins. Cependant, le plus grand défi dans notre continent africain est de fournir aux enfants atteints de maladie rénale l’accès à une prise en
charge spécialisée par des néphrologu...es pédiatriques ayant une bonne formation, ainsi que la possibilité d’avoir un accès abordable aux techniques modernes, aux médicaments efficaces et à des stratégies de prévention. En Afrique, le développement de la NP a été très lent et sans collaboration réelle entre les pays concernés, ce qui a renforcé ma conviction sur la nécessité d’amener les néphrologues pédiatres africains à œuvrer ensemble, par le biais d’un ouvrage commun, à mettre en lumière les données spécifiques de notre continent dans ce domaine.

Nurses are critical to deliver on the promise of “leaving no one behind” and the global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They make a central contribution to national and global targets related to a range of health priorities, including universal health coverage, mental... health and noncommunicable diseases, emergency preparedness and
response, patient safety, and the delivery of integrated, people-centred care.
No global health agenda can be realized without concerted and sustained efforts to maximize the contributions of the nursing workforce and their roles within interprofessional health teams. To do so requires policy interventions that enable them to have maximum impact and effectiveness by optimizing nurses’ scope and leadership, alongside accelerated investment
in their education, skills and jobs. Such investments will also contribute to the SDG targets related to education, gender, decent work and inclusive economic growth.
This State of the world’s nursing 2020 report, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with the International Council of Nurses and the global Nursing Now campaign, and with the support of governments and wider partners, provides a compelling case on the value of the nursing workforce globally.
