International Nurses Day: Celebrities, Politicians Express Gratitude To Nurses

Celebrities, politicians salute nurses this International Nurses Day

International Nurses Day is celebrated every year to honour nurses and healthcare workers. They are at the forefront of the battle against the novel coronavirus pandemic. They have gone beyond the call of duty to serve patients and many in the process have also contracted the deadly virus. It's May 12, International Nurses Day, and the world is thanking the nurses, who have been working round the clock, putting their lives at risk and taking care of millions of patients suffering from COVID-19. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says that nurses account for more than half of all the world's health workers and yet there is an urgent shortage worldwide with 5.9 million (2020) more nurses needed, especially in low- and middle-income countries. International Nurses Day is a day to express gratitude to the hardworking nursing staff, who is at the forefront of fighting COVID-19. Their sense of duty, compassion and commitment towards a healthy India is exemplary. My wishes to those who are nursing away pain and suffering from this world. We salute your contribution and admire your altruistic spirit.Thank you, Nurses. #InternationalNursesDay Saluting the heroic nurses who are the frontline warriors in the fight against #Covid, on their special day.
