JNA Activities
Approved as a "non-profit social corporation" under Article 34 of the Civil Code, JNA engages in activities that contribute to the health and welfare of the Japanese public. Since its establishment in 1946, JNA has worked toward enhancing nursing standard in Japan through organizing support activities for members and undertaking initiatives that address challenges in the areas of public health, medical care and social welfare. JNA periodically reviews a Code of Ethics for Nurses and standards of Nursing Practice in order to improve the quality of nursing care. JNA will continue to make social contributions providing "better nursing services" that meet the demands of the time.

Future Vision of Nursing 2040
-Nursing Supports and Sustains Human Life, Living, and Dignity-
As we approach the year 2040, the environment surrounding nursing in Japan is changing dramatically with the further development of aging and declining birth rate, and accelerating DX and work-style reforms.
How should the nursing profession respond to these changes to continue supporting and sustaining human life, living, and dignity? In June 2025, JNA released “Future Vision of Nursing 2040” to clearly present the direction nursing should take, and the role nursing should play in the future.
Nursing will continue to take on challenges in the new era.

Code of Ethics for Nurses
JNA produced the Code of Ethics for Nurses in 1988 as the first ethical practice guideline for nursing profession in Japan. In 2003, the revised Code was published to reflect the changing times.
After 17 years since the last revision, JNA reviewed the Code responding to significant changes in environments and social situations surrounding nursing, and released “JNA Code of Ethics for Nurses” in March 2021. We hope the Code will be utilized in every nursing setting.
