UBC School of Nursing partners with Canada India Education Society to support global nursing education

The School of Nursing has renewed its partnership with the Canada India Education Society (CIES) to support the development of nursing education in the Indian state of Punjab.

The CIES and the School of Nursing began their partnership in 1998, with the goal of supporting the nursing education program at Guru Nanak College of Nursing in Punjab. Through visits, exchanges, and advocacy for nursing, the partnership has increased the profile and status of nursing as a profession – and through doing so has improved the health of citizens in more than 60 nearby villages, and helped many women and poorer families improve their lives through employment in a growing and necessary field.
