International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on May 12, the birth date of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale.
The theme for this year is ‘Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care’.
Despite being the backbone of health care, nursing often faces financial constraints and societal undervaluation.
International Nurses Day 2024 aims to reshape perceptions, demonstrating how strategic investment in nursing can bring considerable economic and societal benefits.
