Introduction to Field
Aiming toward the global health objective of “health for all,” we seek to identify the problems and challenges in contemporary society, focusing particularly on the health of those in vulnerable positions and striving to rectify health inequalities. Based on scientific evidence, we aim to equip individuals with the ability to carry out nursing practice and conduct research that will contribute to peoples’ health. In addition, we aim to provide opportunities that enable nursing professionals to develop the capacity to be active in the global arena in the practice of nursing and research. This will be achieved through collaboration and cooperation with multiple institutions and professions.
