Nursing executive of Mediclinic Southern Africa, Estelle Jordaan said, “This year we want to honour our own shining lights and celebrate our nurses for being experts in their fields – for how they apply their knowledge and expertise to ensure patient safety and comfort.”
She added that it was also the day where a nursing practitioner at each hospital was chosen as the nursing excellence award recipient by his/her peers and patients. “Although we can only select one person for the award, I would like to take this opportunity take this opportunity to acknowledge each of our nursing practitioners for their invaluable contribution to enhancing the quality of life of our patients by providing comprehensive, world-class care,” said Jordaan.
International Nurses’ Day is a global tribute to the profession and is held on 12 May to coincide with Florence Nightingale’s birthday.
