President Ramkalawan’s message on International Nurses Day

‘Your expertise is vital for the future of healthcare in Seychelles’

“As we come together on May 12 every year to reflect on the significance of International Nurses Day, this year I want to express my profound appreciation for the dedication and compassion that the hundreds of male and female – Seychellois and foreign, working and retired – nurses in Seychelles bring to the nursing profession. You continue to be the bedrock of our healthcare system, ensuring that every Seychellois receives care marked by skill, empathy and unwavering commitment.

“Today, I salute not only the vital roles you perform but also the profound impact you have on the lives of those you serve.

“Recalling the recent commemoration of the International Day of Midwives on May 5, I also salute the midwives and those playing dual roles of nurses and midwives. Your dual commitment exemplifies the heart of nursing and midwifery, guiding families through the important journey of life, right from childbirth. The expertise and compassion you deliver during these critical moments are invaluable, providing reassurance and support when it is needed most.
