Florence Nightingale was an English nurse, a social reformer and a statistician who founded the key pillars of modern nursing. She was born on this day 1820. International Nurses Day assumes great significance in times such as these when we are battling the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses are the backbone of any hospital or clinic continuously providing high-quality care often working without a break.
According to the WHO website, the COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder of the vital role of nurses. Without nurses and other health workers, we will not win the battle against the pandemic, we will not achieve the Sustainable Development Goals or universal health coverage, the WHO marked.
