2020 ... is almost over.
Did you know that 2020 was designated by the World Health Organization as the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife
"Nurses and midwives play a vital role in providing health services. These are the people who devote their lives to caring for mothers and children, giving lifesaving immunizations and health advice, looking after older people and generally meeting everyday essential health needs. They are often, the first and only point of care in their communities. The world needs 9 million more nurses and midwives if it is to achieve universal health coverage by 2030."
This year, health care professionals have been on the frontline in providing service in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic. All across our communities and country, we are eyewitnesses to their service and dedication. Nurses have been an essential part of the health care. Please take two minutes of your time to view a short video about the Year of the Nurse from the World Health Organization. It will be time well spent. The message is from Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
