International Nurses Day

Theme for 2021

Since 1965, we have celebrated Nurses’ Day on 12 May each year to recognise and celebrate the work of nurses who contribute to the health of society as a whole. This year’s Day is celebrated under the theme Nurses: a voice to lead, A vision for future healthcare, as proclaimed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN).

Nursing is more than a profession

Nurses play a significant role in the healthcare system. They are responsible for a patient’s well-being from the moment they enter a healthcare facility until the moment they leave. They support and parter with doctors, and we could say that they are their right hand in caring for the patient.

Their work is very varied. They can specialise in very diverse fields, caring for patients of all ages, from newborns to the dying. Their work is never just about medical care, it is also about supporting the patient when they need compassion and understanding, a hand to hold on to in difficult moments.

Novak M joins in the congratulations

On behalf of the entire Novak M team, we congratulate all the nurses on your day and we wish to thank you. We know that you are not just doing your job, but fulfilling a great and beautiful mission. Thank you for your care, but above all for your heart and compassion!
