Abstract

Advanced practice nurses (APNs) play a pivotal role in shaping global health administration by bridging the gaps in healthcare access, quality, and delivery. These highly trained professionals, which include nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, and nurse midwives, bring a wealth of clinical expertise and a holistic approach to patient care. In many countries, APNs are essential in addressing global health challenges such as infectious diseases, maternal and child health, and chronic conditions. Their ability to function autonomously or as part of interdisciplinary teams enables them to influence health policy, improve care systems, and contribute to the development of more sustainable healthcare models. By advocating for evidence-based practices and health equity, APNs are uniquely positioned to impact health outcomes on a global scale. The involvement of advanced practice nurses in global health administration is further emphasized through their leadership roles in initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and environmental health. APNs are increasingly engaged in health governance, providing insight into community needs while aligning local health strategies with global health objectives set by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). Their expertise in education and training helps elevate the nursing profession within various healthcare systems, promoting the importance of nursing leadership in health decision-making processes. As healthcare continues to evolve in response to emerging global challenges, the contributions of advanced practice nurses are crucial in ensuring that health systems are not only responsive but also resilient in the face of adversity.
