Some of the most transformative solutions in global health emerge from one deceptively simple discipline: listening. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight, International Council of Nurses CEO Howard Catton, and ANA VP of Innovation Oriana Beaudet explore how the ICN Charter for Change, a straightforward, evidence-driven ten-point plan, was built directly from what nurses, associations, and communities say they need most.

Together, they unpack how frontline wisdom can become global policy, how the foundational leadership skill in nursing of listening translates to shaping reform, and how advanced practice nursing models around the world are already reducing costs, improving outcomes, and proving what's possible when countries invest in nursing.
