Poverty and human development--a global and a local issue.
Often, when patients enter parts of the healthcare system, such as when they begin dialysis or go on a transplant list, we collect data about the patients' physical condition and their healthcare coverage. The data on poverty and human development would indicate that we should increase our awareness of those issues as a vital part of the nursing assessment. Through this global initiative, we hope to achieve that.
