Dubai: Marking the International Nurses Day 2021, around 1,500 nurses, doctors and medical staff members of Dubai’s Rashid Hospital were honoured at a special event here. National Air Cargo Group and Dubai Health Authority (DHA) once again joined hands to recognise the efforts of and sacrifices of health workers — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Council of Nurses observes May 12 — the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, the British nurse and social reformer known as the founder of modern nursing — as International Nurses Day. This year, the celebrations organised at Rashid Hospital also coincided with Eid Al Fitr festivities on Thursday.
