The document provides a strategic framework for action – the first of its kind in the WHO European Region. It identifies 12 objectives, four priority action areas and four enabling mechanisms that align policy and practice with the Health 2020 vision, and helps Member States to strengthen nursing and midwifery within the context of their own country plans.Citation
