The purpose of this paper was to brief nurses under Tshwane District
on the International Council of Nurses (ICN) 2018 International Nurses'
Day (IND) theme. The ICN toolkit was downloaded and a full exploration
of the topic was embarked on and delivered to Tshwane District nurses on
11 May 2018. The paper applies the context under which nurses practise
as well as #Hildegard Peplau's interpersonal relations model. This paper
is divided into four parts: health is a human right; access to #health care; investment and economic growth, and policy to practice - practice
to policy. At the end the author makes recommendations according to
context. The #International Council of Nurses (ICN) holds that health is a #human right and is at the forefront of advocating for access to health and
nurses are the key to delivering it ICN Toolkit [1]. The human right to
health means that everyone has the right to the highest attainable
standard of physical and mental health, which includes access to all
medical services, sanitation, adequate food, decent housing, healthy
working conditions, and a clean environment (National Economic and
Social Rights Initiative [NESRI] sa). The case of Life Esidimeni in
South Africa (Gauteng province) is a close example of health as a human
right 'denied'. The case of Esidimeni is an example of individuals and
communities who suffered and still suffer due to lack of access and
could not afford health care; of 144 patients who died presumably due to
neglect and hunger while 20 patients are still missing and unaccounted
for Nicholson.
