Today, May 12, is International Nurses Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the essential role of nursing professionals in their dedication and assistance in caring for others at all stages of life.
Nursing is one of the fundamental pillars of health systems around the world. Nurses are present at the most critical and sensitive moments in patients' lives, and are often the first and last visible face in the care journey. With competence, empathy and commitment, they ensure the continuity and quality of care provided.
This day also serves as a moment to reflect on the challenges that these professionals face on a daily basis, often in demanding contexts and under great pressure. Valuing their work is essential to strengthen health systems and ensure dignified and safe care for all.
Celebrating nurses is, above all, recognizing the human and technical impact of their work, which goes far beyond clinical gestures; it is caring with knowledge, sensitivity and unwavering dedication.
Nurses care for lives. Every day.
