Nurses Day is celebrated on May 12 each year as a tribute to the profession of the nurse who plays such an important role in the medical system.
Nurses play a key role in our medical institutions, hospitals and health funds, and they are responsible for the welfare, safety and recovery of patients. Nurses Day is designed to recognize the tireless efforts, the long hours, and the hard work done by the nurses who devotedly care for the sick and wounded.
The Nurses Day was established by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) in 1965.
May 12 is also Fibromyalgia Awareness Day
