Mumbai Smiles Celebrates International Nurses Day

Honouring the birth of Florence Nightingale,  International Nurses Day is celebrated every year on May 12th. As a part of our HOPE Project, we also celebrated this day by felicitating the nurses at Wadia (Hemat-Onco department) and Holy Spirit (Cancer Center) Hospital.

Nurses form the backbone of any hospital. They are the primary care givers and deserve respect and appreciation all year round. This day, marks their commitment towards serving the ill and aiding in their well being.

The theme for this year was ” Nurses: A Force for Change: Improving health systems’ resilience.”

Nurses contribution towards the patients and their families are quintessential in the healing process. Apart from providing medical support they also provide psycho-social support to them which of crucial importance. This helps in recovery of the patient not just physically but mentally as well.
