This discursive paper argues that advanced education for paediatric nurses in Rwanda is essential for addressing child and adolescent health needs and contributing to Sustainable Development Goals.
This discursive paper uses Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to analyze how paediatric nurses in Rwanda can address the health needs of children and adolescents. The authors draw on their own experiences and available literature to discuss selected SDGs: no poverty, good health and well-being, quality of education, decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, and partnerships for the goals. The central conclusion is that paediatric nurses play a key role in attaining SDGs, necessitating the training of more paediatric nurses with interdisciplinary support. The paper is based on a discursive method and narrative review, not empirical research. The implications are for policy and education stakeholders to invest in advanced nursing education to improve equitable healthcare access.
