[Gideon Maundu, Standard]Yesterday, nurses all over the world were supposed to be celebrating International Nurses Day. According to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) State of the World’s Nursing report released this year, nurses are the largest occupational group in the health sector, accounting for 59 per cent of the health profession. The theme for this year’s International Nurses Day is “Nursing the world to health”, which is very timely because of the health-related challenges we have faced so far. Investing in nursing and midwifery is a key step towards the achievement of Universal Health Coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals. As you continue to nurse the world to health, do not forget to take care of yourselves as well.
