Coronavirus: UAE healthcare workers honoured on International Nursing Day. World Health Organisation calls for a show of support for front-line nurses during the global pandemic. And on Tuesday, International Nurses Day, the World Health Organisation is calling on the public to shine a light to recognise their service.. At hospitals around the world, healthcare staff continue their duties often without adequate personal protective equipment to keep them safe.. When the patient arrives in a very grave situation, and then leaves a few weeks later with a smile on their face it makes the job absolutely worthwhile. "I am called to make a difference in the lives of the people I take care of," he said.. "People might forget our names, but they will never forget how we made them feel - that makes a whole world of difference.". In the UK, more than 100 NHS staff and other healthcare workers have died as a result of coronavirus.. Nations reliant on an influx of nurses from overseas are braced for a recruitment crisis.. "It is getting difficult to recruit enough nurses as we are getting more Covid-19 positive patients admitted," said Anette Dcunha, head of nursing recruitment at NMC Bareen Hospital
