International Nurses Day is observed every year on 12 May to recognize the dedication, compassion and invaluable contribution of nurses toward healthcare and patient care across the world. The day marks the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, who is regarded as the founder of modern nursing. It serves as an occasion to appreciate the tireless service of nurses in hospitals, clinics and communities, especially during health emergencies and crises. Various awareness programmes, seminars and felicitation events are organized globally to highlight the vital role nurses play in strengthening healthcare systems and ensuring quality medical care for society.
