The Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia will hold a large international conference, the European Transcultural Nursing Association (ETNA), which is a very prestigious event organized every two years. It brings together nursing professionals, students, nurses, and other nursing and related specialists. It is the first time this conference will take place in the Czech Republic and the venue is the lecture halls of the FHSS Vltava/Uran. Adam Vojtěch, the minister of health, will launch a rich program with lectures by experts from nearly 20 countries around the world at the Budweis hotel on Wednesday evening. The organizers expect more than one hundred participants who will present their contributions in English. This year's event will deal with the nursing curriculum and it will focus on the cultural competences of nurses. The point is to provide all patients with care that is respectful to their cultural habits, needs, and expectations.
