On #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife, I honour the extraordinary dedication of midwives worldwide. Yet we face a critical shortage — millions of women still lack access to qualified midwifery care.
The #OneMillionMore campaign reminds us: investing in midwives is one of the most effective investments in public health.
Every woman deserves a midwife. Let us move beyond words to action.
— Mervi Jokinen, EFNNMA President

We are delighted to share that the EFNNMA Annual Conference 2025—Retention and Recruitment of Nurses connected to Nursing Action project —hosted by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO), has concluded with great success in Dublin.
Our sincere thanks to:
- @maggedyann Margrieta Langins of @WHO_Europe for steadfast leadership on nursing and midwifery.
- INMO for exemplary hosting and partnership.
- Special thanks to @ICNurses President, ICN CEO @HowardCatton
CEO and @EFNBrussels President for the partecipation.
- All speakers, panelists, and participants for their commitment and insight.
Key outcome: recruitment and retention are inseparable. Sustainable workforce strategies must treat them as two sides of the same coin—attracting new talent while protecting, developing, and valuing the workforce we have.
With @WHO_Europe, INMO, and our member associations, EFNNMA will continue advancing a coordinated European WHO Region agenda where recruitment fuels retention—and retention strengthens recruitment.

Powerful statement from @ICNurses 1st VP and @vardforbundet President Sineva Ribeiro highlighting high workload, gender inequity and that Swedish nurses are now reporting their primary reason for part time working is the lack of recovery time not child care as critical issues.
