Happy Nurses’ Day to all nurses in Singapore!
Internationally, Nurses’ Day is celebrated on 12 May, which is Florence Nightingale’s birthday. However, in Singapore, we celebrate Nurses’ Day on 1 August as it marks the beginning of the development of nursing in Singapore.
Nurses are a vital part of our healthcare system. Their support is essential for all patients, caregivers, and doctors. It is a physically and emotionally demanding career, one that draws individuals of extraordinary dedication and purpose.
Thank you to all our nurses for your service and devoted care! – LHL
