Another year has arrived for nurses around the world to celebrate the International Nurses Day on the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. This year YB Health Minister joined close to 3000 nurses to celebrate the national level International Nurses Day here in Putrajaya.
Providing quality healthcare services to all people in need is the ethical and professional responsibility of nurses. As committed, innovative and solution oriented professionals, nurses continue to provide care with resilience and versatility even with little or no resources or organisational support. However, improving health systems’ resilience requires inter-sectorial efforts by all actors at all levels. Nurses, who deliver the majority of healthcare services in collaboration with colleagues in both and non-health sectors; have an important role in this process.
This year’s International Nurses Day theme: Nurses: A Force For Change – Improving Health Systems’ Resilience, call upon all nurses to play an integral role in leading change through personal core values, perceiving and applying fresh approaches to improve current thinking, relating to others by adapting to different standards and approaches, and developing capabilities by creating systems for succession.
Congratulations are also in order for the three exceptional nurses who have been awarded "Tokoh Jururawat" today in 3 categories: Service, Community & Education.
My best wishes go out to all nurses and on behalf of Warga KKM and everyone in Malaysia, have a very “HAPPY NURSES DAY 2016"Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah
Director General of Health Malaysia
and Senior Consultant in Breast, Endocrine
and General Surgery, Putrajaya Hospital, Malaysia.
