"The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being..." - Preamble to the World Health Organization Constitution

Please help the Transcultural Nursing Society fund our Research and Scholarship Awards.  These awards help our students and members reduce health disparities for diverse cultures worldwide!  "An unprecedented humanitarian crisis in health and health care is sweeping across the world today. For billions of people health is as elusive as peace and economic security. Poverty is stifling human dignity, hunger is weakening physical potential, and violence is destroying life. Growing inequities in human and material resource distribution perpetuate the crisis. People of all cultures, communities and economic strata are experiencing the pain. Fueled by lack of cultural understanding, populations live in fear of each other exacerbating insidious forms of intolerance and discrimination. As such, there are huge inequities in health status and access to health care services throughout the world."
