International Nurses Day 2021

bizadmin


The International Nurses and Midwives Day is celebrated every year on May 12 globally to appreciate the nurses’ efforts. This day is also marked as the anniversary of Florence Nightingale, founder of modern nursing.

As hospitalizations increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses are playing a crucial role in taking care of each and every patient regardless of boundaries. Even if a patient needs immediate attention or just a few encouraging words, nurses are there for them round-the-clock.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 9 million more nurses and midwives are required by 2030 so that all countries can attain Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number three on health and well-being.
