谭德塞表示，全球各地的护士正冒着生命危险照料被隔离的新冠肺炎危重患者。

This is not the first time their importance has been highlighted in international emergencies. Nurses were also on the front lines of the Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and West Africa. In Liberia, they were the most affected by the outbreak among health care workers.

护士在国际危机事件中的重要性并不是第一次被凸显。埃博拉病毒暴发期间护士们也曾奋战在刚果民主共和国和西非的前线。在利比里亚，护士是医护工作者当中感染人数最多的群体。

WHO’s new “State of the World’s Nursing 2020” report has identified a global shortage of 5.9 million nurses. Many of those gaps are found in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and parts of Latin America.

世界卫生组织新发布的《2020全球护理状况报告》指出，全球护士缺口达590万人。大部分缺口位于非洲、东南亚、地中海东部和拉美部分地区。

Among regions of the world, the Americas have the highest density of nurses at 83.4 per 10,000 people, followed by Europe with 79.3 nurses per 10,000 people. In contrast, there are 8.7 nurses per 10,000 people in Africa, 15.6 nurses per 10,000 people in the Eastern Mediterranean region, 16.5 nurses per 10,000 people in Southeast Asia, and 36 nurses per 10,000 people in the Western Pacific.
