Saluting the unsung heroes of healthcare this International Nurses Day

Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie celebrates nursing in honour of this day

They say nursing is a work of heart. It takes more than just an education to see the beginning and end of life every day at a hospital. In fact, nurses are one of the largest and most vital workforces in healthcare. With the ever-changing processes and continuing advances in hospitals, they meet expectations of both hospital management and patients whilst providing even more complex patient care.

Every year, International Nurses Day focuses attention on the diverse ways India’s fourteen lakh nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions,  the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of Indian society.

Taking this thread forward, Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie commemorates International Nurses Day to honour the relentless dedication and passion of all nurses across the world. Celebrated on the 12th of May every year, this year’s theme is ‘Nurses – balance of mind, body and spirit.’

Nursing is a profession that impacts all ages and socioeconomic levels of society. Whether as a young child, an elderly individual, or a person who is recovering from an accident or suffering from an illness, nearly everyone has needed the care of a nurse at some point in their lives. Over the years, caring for those who are sick or injured has become more complicated, and the role of nurses has in fact, expanded considerably.

At Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie, over 200 nurses man each and every department. With a never-ending commitment to compassionate care and medical innovation, they are relentless in their pursuit of improving the health of their patients. From the laboratory to the bedside, nurses at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for patients and families.

“We at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie would like to thank our nurses for their invaluable service to the medical community and to the patients they care for. Playing a critical role in a patient’s care, they are on the frontline of healthcare. In fact, they play a very important role in shaping the health of our community. Today’s nurses are putting efficient patient care as the central focus and implementing the service delivery changes the healthcare industry is experiencing – from using health IT to increasing medical compliance and patient monitoring to working as part of integrated care teams to improve communication and facilitate care transitions,” says Capt. (Retd.) Sunita Fernandes, Assistant Director, Nursing Services – Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie.

“With knowledge, courage, vision and commitment nurses are well placed to take a lead role in improving the health of our communities. The training in terms of quality education, facilities such as comfortable hostels in the vicinity and hands-on experience we provide, grooms nurses into innovative professionals with a wealth of skills and knowledge. At Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie, our nurses strive to make the intolerable, tolerable and to ensure that wherever possible people are restored to health and wellbeing as quickly as possible. Nurses truly are the unsung heroes of healthcare,” concludes Dr. Manisha Karmarkar, COO, Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie.
