Happy Nurses Day!

Unlike other countries, which celebrate Nurses Day on 12 May, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, Singapore celebrates Nurses Day on 1 August. This dates marks the beginning of the development of nursing in Singapore.

Up till 1885, there was a lack of nurses to support the work of the doctors. The call went out for nurses, and was answered by nuns from the local French Convent, who started nursing at the General Hospital at the Sepoy Lines on 1 August 1885.

Nurses' Day is an opportunity for everyone around the world to remember the valuable contributions that nurses make to society. Check out these nurses who dedicate their lives to helping others and striving to make a real difference to the wellbeing of those that they care for.
