Campaign launched by UAE ministry to recognize nurses’ crucial role in healthcare.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Health and Prevention has launched a campaign to recognize the vital role played by nurses in healthcare. The campaign aims to honor and appreciate the efforts of nurses who have been at the forefront of the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has launched an interactive social media campaign themed “Our Nursing Cadres are the Future” in celebration of International Nurse Day 2023, which falls on May 12 each year.

Titled “Thank You, Guardians of health and wellness” the campaign aims to highlight the heroic efforts of nursing staff and celebrate their dedication and sincerity while responding to all humanitarian, professional, and national duties.

The campaign, titled “Nurses: A Voice to Lead,” is being organized in collaboration with the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and is part of the global celebrations for International Nurses Day on May 12. The campaign highlights the critical role played by nurses in providing healthcare services and encourages the public to show appreciation for their efforts.

As part of the campaign, the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention is organizing a series of virtual events, including webinars, seminars, and workshops, to educate the public about the importance of nurses and their contributions to the healthcare sector. The events will also focus on the challenges faced by nurses, including burnout, fatigue, and mental health issues, and ways to address these challenges.

The Ministry has also launched a social media campaign using the hashtag #Nurses_A_Voice_to_Lead, to raise awareness about the campaign and encourage the public to show their support for nurses.

The UAE has been at the forefront of the global battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, and nurses have played a critical role in the country’s healthcare response. The campaign by the Ministry of Health and Prevention is a recognition of the sacrifices and contributions made by nurses in the UAE and around the world, and aims to encourage the public to support and appreciate their efforts.
