Nurses: Healing Hands, Unseen Sacrifices

International Nurses Day, observed on May 12, acknowledges the profound contributions and emotional toll of the nursing profession. Nurses from prominent medical centers recently shared personal accounts of their service.

One nurse described the maternal affection she extends to infants in the pediatrics ward, finding fulfillment in supporting families. Another nursing officer works to overcome negative perceptions of government hospitals by ensuring patients receive comprehensive care and timely treatment.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, nurses faced personal health risks, contracting the virus multiple times. Despite these challenges, they continued to care for patients with profound empathy, treating young patients as if they were their own children.
