• International Nurses Day 2025 Our Nurses, Our Future.

  2025-05-12

  May 12, commemorating the birth of Florence Nightingale, has been globally recognized as International Nurses Day. This year, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) has adopted the theme “Our Nurses, Our Future.” Far beyond a ceremonial slogan, this theme serves as a moral and strategic call to action, emphasizing the critical role of nurses in shaping a healthier, fairer, and more humane future.

  Health is not merely a medical concern—it is the very foundation of human development and civilization. The future of individuals, families, communities, and even nations depends significantly on the attainment of optimal health. In this context, nurses are not simply technical workers; they are pivotal actors in the health system. Nurses are present at every stage of human life—from birth, growth, and illness to end-of-life care—bridging formal health services with the holistic needs of patients.
