August 21–22, 2026
200 Coventry Road, Ottawa, Canada
It is with great pride and deep gratitude that I invite you to the Global Nursing Summit 2026, a gathering that reflects our shared commitment to advancing healthcare beyond borders.
At the Global Nurses Initiative, we believe that nursing is not just a profession—it is a powerful force for equity, compassion, and global transformation. This year’s summit, under the theme “Sustaining Global Healthcare Together,” brings together nurses, healthcare leaders, educators, policymakers, and innovators from around the world.
As a nurse who has practiced both internationally and within Canada’s diverse communities, I understand firsthand the importance of collaboration, cultural competence, and continuous learning. This summit is more than a conference—it is a platform to amplify voices, share knowledge, and build sustainable solutions that strengthen healthcare systems globally.
We are especially proud to host this summit in Ottawa, Canada—a city that reflects diversity, leadership, and innovation in healthcare.
I warmly invite you to join us, not only as participants but as partners in shaping a healthier, more equitable world. Your voice, your experience, and your leadership are essential.
Together, let us inspire change, build connections, and sustain global healthcare for generations to come.
