ANNSI from dream into actions

African youth nurses as novice nurses and

students together can play important active

role and support in achieving African progress

specially Africa agenda 2063.

Africa is the world's second largest and se-cond most-populous continent ,The Health of the People is the first report to fo-cus on the health of the 738 million people living in the African Re-gion of the World Health Organiza-tion. While ac-knowledging that Africa confronts the world's most dramatic public health crisis, the report offers hope that over time the re-gion can address the health challenges it fac-es, given sufficient international support. Nursing is a profession within the health

care sector focused on the care of individuals,

families, and communities so they may attain,

maintain, or recover optimal health

and quality of life. Nurses may be differenti-

ated from other health care providers by

their approach to patient care, training,

and scope of practice. Nurses practice

in many specialties with differing levels

of prescription authority

The guiding vision for Agenda 2063 is the AU Vision of “

An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its

own citizens and representing a dynamic force in interna-

tional arena”

The seven African Aspirations were derived through a con-sultative process with the African Citizenry. These are:

• A Prosperous Africa, based on inclusive growth and sus-tainable development • An integrated continent, politically united, based on the ideals of Pan Africanism and the vision of Africa’s Renais-sance • An Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for hu-man rights, justice and the rule of law • A Peaceful and Secure Africa • Africa with a strong cultural identity, common heritage, val-ues and ethics

It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. AIDS is not a virus but a set of symptoms (or syndrome) caused by the HIV virus. A person is said to have AIDS when their immune system is too weak to fight off in- fection, and they devel-op certain defining symp- toms and illnesses.

against FGM

There is no doubt that the better future of African

health needs more efforts, and the nursing profes-

sion carries a noble, purposive message to face the

wrong health habits inherent in

society, as it has a great impact

on health care system, so we

have to think and work hand in

hand together as African novice

nurses and students leaders to

make our African dream come

true. - One of these severely

wrong inherent health habits is

FGM " Female Genital Mutila-

tion ". -Female genital mutila-

tion FGM is a human rights violation, torture and an

extreme form of violence and discrimination against

girls and women its involves removing and damag-

ing external female genitalia for nonmedical reasons

-This procedure has lived in Africa for decades and is

still spreading in and out like a virus under cover of

social, traditional and religion justification in absent

of fact and truth element even behind FGM existenc-

es in the first place .

-The harmful practice of female genital mutilation

(FGM), the cutting of the female genital organs for

ritual rites dating back to pre-biblical times, is being

currently practiced dominantly in the whole 52 Afri-

can countries, parts of the Middle East, pocket areas

in other parts of the world and among immigrant

population in the developed world. -

It is estimated that over 200 million infants and girl chil-

dren are annually mutilated in the name of tradition and

religious requirements. -This practice is detrimental to

the health and wellbeing of women

and girl-children. -At the interna-

tional, regional and local levels vari-

ous activities are being undertaken

to address the issue as well as to

prevent and eliminate it. -There

remains a lot to be done to identify

the root causes and justifications to

devise appropriate.
