International Nurses Day is celebrated every year on 12th May to commemorate the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
It is a reminder of the vital role played by doctors as well as nurses in all our medical institutions for the welfare, safety and recovery of patients.
The day recognizes the dedication and compassionate care provided by nurses, who serve as the primary caregivers for patients.
The kindness and empathy shown by nurses often contribute to the well-being and recovery of patients. The day encourages people to express their gratitude towards these brave and hardworking professionals.
The theme of International Nurses Day this year is “Our Nurses, Our Future”.
International Nurses Day dates back to 1974 when the International Council of Nurses officially declared May 12 as a day to celebrate nurses around the world.
