Namibians joined the rest of the world in celebrating International Nurses Day.

The day is aimed at celebrating the remarkable contributions of nurses worldwide and honouring their tireless dedication and selfless commitment to healthcare.

This day also offers an opportunity to acknowledge the invaluable role that Namibian nurses play in promoting national well-being.

Retired Nurse Cecily Petersen, who was the keynote speaker at the occasion, urged nurses to be patient and show love towards patients at all times.
