Despite advances in treatment and prevention strategies, it is difficult to eradicate. It is responsible for high mortality rates and significant socioeconomic consequences. Therapeutic patient education, an approach focused on developing people's skills, is a key lever in its management.

As they are mainly treated in urban areas, it is essential to consider the resources available and accessible to private nurses. There are many resources available, but are they being used effectively and deployed sufficiently? The coordination of care pathways is the subject of numerous measures and is intended to be a central part of patient care, a "bridge between the hospital and the community," but what about training and, above all, the patient's place in the process?

Women face stigma and limited access to modern contraceptives. Community education is needed to normalize contraceptive use, along with the expansion of healthcare facilities, targeted research, and the involvement of men in family planning.

It encourages the reinvention of healthcare practices through prevention, eco-design, and social action, in order to meet emerging needs in a sustainable and humane way. Nursing care is a central pillar of this evolution, both in hospitals and in politics.

The active participation of professionals is essential to its implementation. Beyond technical procedures, this approach invites us to collectively rethink care from a more global, ethical, and sustainable perspective, in the service of human and ecosystem health.

As human health...Moving towards a healthcare system that is sustainable, inclusive, and resilient is now a priority in the face of major challenges related to climate change, pollution, and pressure on natural resources. As human health is closely dependent on the quality of the environment, it is becoming essential to integrate ecological considerations into the organization and operation of healthcare services. To meet this imperative, ecological planning of the healthcare system is emerging as a key strategy promoted by public authorities.

To reduce their impact without compromising the quality of care, it is essential to transform practices. Healthcare workers, particularly nurses, are key players in this transition. Their role must be recognized, supported, and strengthened.

Environmental degradation and climate change affect people's health. Exposure to various pollutants is correlated with an increase in multiple health problems. Nurses must be proactive to contribute to protecting the health of populations.

However, the widespread prevalence of exposure to environmental risk factors makes the environment an important determinant of population health. Its importance will grow with climate change, and the healthcare system will be confronted with this issue. As a significant contributor to change itself, the healthcare system will need to reduce its environmental footprint.
