To honour the selfless efforts of the nursing community, Fortis Hospital Mohali has hosted a week-long cultural activity to observe International Nurses Day.
International Nurses Day is celebrated every year on 12th May to commemorate the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale. The theme of this year’s event was ‘Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies.’
The celebrations kicked off at the hospital premises from 7th May with activities such as Best out of Waste, Balloon Bump, Sac and Lemon Race, Frog Race, Poster Competition, Talent Show and Traditional Dress Round. Besides nurses, employees from several other departments also took part in Mehandi Competition and Tug of War.
The series of events came to an end on May 12. It was attended by the nursing staff and senior leadership of Fortis Mohali including Abhijit Singh, Head-SBU; Vikramjit Singh, Medical Director; Indrajeet Singh, General Manager; and Nikethana R, Chief of Nursing, Fortis Mohali.
The nursing staff took the pledge administered by Chief of Nursing, Nikethana, followed by a lively dance session to celebrate the occasion. Some nurses also bagged prizes for their participation in the event.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief of Nursing, Nikethana R, said, “Our nursing staff has always been at the forefront of medical care. They work selflessly to deliver excellent patient care service at all times. They go to great lengths and ignore their own physical and emotional needs. International Nurses Day gives the nursing community a platform to exhibit their contribution to the healthcare sector.”
