Public health nurses (PHNs) perform more than the provision of direct care to clients. They are also expected to perform roles as leaders, managers, and collaborators in different settings, especially in areas where there are no physicians. Their continuous professional development must be facilitated to empower them to lead the delivery of health programs and services in pursuit of universal healthcare. This study aims to determine the perceived competencies of public health nurses and describe their training needs.
