Nurses celebrated for their hard work on International Nurses Day
Nurses have been commended for their hard work, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As 12 May marks International Nurses Day, prominent South Africans and Twitter users have taken to the social media platform to express their gratitude.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said, “Nurses are the front line of our healthcare system and we appreciate the dedication with which they perform their duties in public and private hospitals and clinics; in schools; in mines; in pharmacies; in corporate health and wellness programmes; in non-governmental organisations; in faith-based organisations; in sports federations; as volunteers in different settings, and as neighbours who don’t mind being woken up in the middle of the night when we need help.”
