How are nurses leading change in global health? Nurse-led research has become an increasingly vital component in addressing global health challenges. Nurses, as frontline health professionals, often have clear insight into these issues; therefore, their ability to identify problems and innovate solutions is a crucial asset. However, despite their proximity to both patients and communities, their role in shaping global health research has often remained under-recognized. Through The Global Health Network’s Global Research Nurses Pump-priming Grants 2023: Research Project Awards funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing, three exceptional nurses have conducted independent research and demonstrated the unique value of nursing perspectives in global health. Their projects encompass neonatal care, menstrual health, and immunization equity, each anchored in clinical experience and driven by community needs. Rafiat Akinokun spoke to Mwanamvua (Mwana) Boga, Rubina Qasim and Amina Suleiman Rajah, winners of the Global Research Nurses Pump-priming grants, leading research to improve local health outcomes.
