Mumbai: Every year, May is observed as International Nurses Day in honor of Florence Nightingale’s birthday. To recognize the invaluable role of nurses who play a pivotal role in healthcare and provide exceptional patient care with respect, love, and affection, Lilavati Hospital conducted engaging events for these unsung heroes. The Hospital hosted interesting activities including karaoke singing and group dancing to a glamour quest, a Nurse Day skit, and an energetic Zumba session. The event saw the participation of enthusiastic and joyful nurses with smiley faces. The “Fairies In Aprons” were recognized for their immense dedication, selfless services, and valuable contribution to nurturing and improving the quality of life of millions of patients.
Nurses are the pillar of the healthcare system and play a key role in improving the patient’s overall well-being which often goes unnoticed. Aside from administering medications and monitoring vital signs, nurses give emotional support and comfort to patients during their hospital stay. They offer comfort, hope, and empathy in times of agony, trauma, and fear. To honor nurses, Lilavati Hospital has organized special events for nurses who are magicians as they possess abilities to care for and heal patients with swift attention.
“The healthcare system is dependent on nurses, the“Fairies In Aprons” who symbolize the epitome of selfless dedication and compassion. They also educate, advocate, and empower individuals for improved health outcomes. The admiration and appreciation nurses deserve for their support, and commitment should be paramount,” said Mr. Rajiv Mehta, Permanent Trustee at Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre, Bandra Mumbai.
“Nurses are the first point of contact for patients, offering comfort and support in times of need. It is important to applaud nurses for the hard work and sacrifices they make every day to ensure the well-being of their patients. The Hospital’s atmosphere was filled with joy as the nurses were able to relax and participate in karaoke singing, group dancing to a glamour quest, a Nurse Day skit, and an energetic Zumba session followed by prize distribution,” highlighted Dr Niraj Uttamani, Chief Operating Officer at Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre, Bandra.
“It was gratifying to see management go above and beyond to celebrate us- The Nurses. On behalf of everyone, I express my gratitude to Lilavati Hospital for the exceptional gala event, and we are looking forward to many more celebrations,” *concluded Head of Nurse Rubyiana*
