PEOPLE all over the world commemorated International Nursesâ Day yesterday ((WED)). Nurses, among other essential workers, continue to put their lives at risk, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, to ensure healthier communities.
City Hospital has recorded 624 Covid-19 patients since the start of the pandemic. From this number, 127 patients died. The hospital also had 114 staffers infected with the virus, including two fatalities.
âI got a reality check when a third Coronavirus patient died in our hospital. That is when I realised that the virus was real and I was scared for my life. I had to soldier on though, especially for our patients, because no one could be physically there for them except for us,â said City Hospital Sister Princess Gwacela.

The Prince of Wales has penned a message to nurses marking International Nurses Day on Wednesday, writing exclusively in
The Times that the occasion allows everyone the chance to “recognise and celebrate the selfless contribution of nurses everywhere after what has been the most challenging of years.”
Prince Charles used his article to highlight the history of nursing, noting that it was the work of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole during the Crimean War that led to the modern profession, and that “the impact of their work continues to save lives today, in the simple act of washing hands with soap and water.”
