INMO President Martina Harkin Kelly said she is "touched" by the core message of the solidarity protests.
"I’m proud and humbled by the support of our nursing and midwifery colleagues around the world," she said.
"Globally, our nurses and midwives are standing up for safe staffing, fair pay, and for our patients, who deserve better care. That’s what Wednesday’s strike is all about."
"I’m touched and saddened by their core message 'give us a reason to come home.' Ireland’s public health service does not pay a competitive wage, meaning many of Ireland’s brilliant nurses and midwives are forced to look overseas to secure fair pay and safe conditions.”
Tomorrow's strike will take place in all public hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country.
