On May 12, we celebrate the International Day of Nurses and Midwives. The holiday was established by the International Council of Nurses in 1973. The holiday is celebrated on May 12 for a reason – on this day the most famous representative and pioneer of nursing was born, and also the founder of the first nursing school, Florence Nightingale.

The International Day of Nurses and Midwives is a special an opportunity to express gratitude and appreciation for the work that requires not only knowledge and experience, but also empathy and commitment.

Thank you for your professionalism, empathy and everyday dedication. You are the foundation of health care, and consequently, safety of each of us.

We wish you unflagging strength, health and satisfaction from this unique mission.
