International Nurses Day: Emirati frontline workers urge others to join the profession – The National

Emirati nurses have come together to celebrate their work and encourage others to join the profession on International Nurses Day.

Dr Fatima Al Refaei, who set up the Emirates Nursing Association in 2003, said May 12 was an important day for the profession to raise awareness of the vital job nurses were doing.

She has been taking care of patients since the 1960s.
