International Nurses Week: Humanity Hospital Limited Honours Nurses




International Nurses Week, observed annually from May 6 to 12, is a time dedicated to recognizing the invaluable contributions of nurses around the world.


Humanity Hospital, located on Enerhen Road in the Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, marked the occasion with a series of activities celebrating the dedication, leadership, and transformative role of its nurses.


The week-long celebration began on Monday with a community outreach at Enerhen Market, where nurses offered free health talks, blood sugar screenings, and blood pressure checks. On Thursday, the hospital hosted CPR demonstrations and cultural dance performances representing various tribes, which drew admiration from both staff and patients.


Dr. Enoma Bazuaye, Director of Humanity Hospital Limited, represented by the hospital manager, Sonia Ekpidemi, stated that the annual event is a meaningful opportunity to honor the compassion, resilience, and strength nurses show in their daily work. He praised their unwavering commitment and emphasized the importance of celebrating their efforts, especially in challenging times.


“Even on the toughest days, our nurses continue to show up with heart,” Dr. Bazuaye noted. “Their dedication to patient care is a testament to the values we hold dear, and we are proud to have them as part of our team.”


Other speakers at the event echoed this sentiment, describing nurses as the "heart of every hospital." They highlighted Humanity Hospital's community outreach efforts as an extension of core nursing values rooted in service and compassion.


Matron of the hospital, Nurse Agatha Andrew, along with Nurses Okeogbosu Joel-Iruoghene, Charity Enye, and Oghenenfejiro Irhiedo, expressed their appreciation for the recognition and pledged to continue enhancing their service to humanity.


International Nurses Week is observed globally from May 9 to 12 in honor of the birth of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, and serves as a reminder of the essential role nurses play in healthcare systems worldwide.
