May 12,2018 :  International Nurses Day 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

International Nurses Day is an international day celebrated around the world on 12 May (the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth) of each year, to mark the contributions nurses make to society.

Each year , the International Council will release a theme and the Nurses Day Theme for 2018 :A Voice to Lead, Health is a Human Right.

A Voice to Lead, Health is a Human Right, this toolkit presents compelling evidence showing how investment in nursing leads to economic development; and how improving conditions in which people live leads to cohesive societies and productive economies.

Our Former People`s President Dr APJ Abdul kalam described in his speed speech on Nursing Profession is :

When I see the doctors I see them as pain removers. When I see dentists, I see them as persons who brings smile on the faces of people.

"When I see the nurses, I am reminded of angels moving in a full moon night. In a hospital when no doctors, no relatives are around the patients during night time, the nurses go around to provide consolation and relief to the patients. At that time nurses appear to be angels for the patients to cater to their requirements like medicines, dressing and other help".

This International Nurses Day, let us join together to share how nurses are transforming health care and health systems so that no person is left behind. Let us join our voices together to be a voice to lead by supporting a people–centred approach to care and health systems, and ensuring our voices are heard in influencing health policy, planning and provision.

Health is a Human Right means that all humans have the right to access affordable and quality health care at a time when they need it most. And there are nurses working in everyday health care settings and in positions of influence and decision making that are doing this right now!

Let us on the occasion of 'International Nurse's Day' salute and express our sincere gratitude to these noble angels going about their divine duty of relieving pain and suffering of mankind by bringing back lost hope in the minds and cheer into the face of patients in their tender care.
