Dimapur, May 12 (MExN): The Trained Nurses’ Association of India (TNAI), Dimapur Unit, celebrated International Nurses’ Day on Tuesday at the Chapel Hall, Medical Fellowship, District Hospital Dimapur (DHD), with the theme “Our Nurses, Our Future: Empowered Nurses Save Lives.”
Speaking on the occasion, Dr George Thirah, Medical Superintendent of DHD, said nurses are the backbone of healthcare and asserted that while artificial intelligence is replacing many jobs, nursing cannot be automated. “Nursing is not merely a profession, it is a calling,” he said.
Theme speaker Toshisenla, Nursing Superintendent at DHD, highlighted that when nurses are supported, patient outcomes improve; when they are heard, systems become safer; and when they are empowered, lives are saved. “Our Nurses, Our Future is not just a theme. It is a promise that the next generation will not inherit exhaustion as a norm, and that experience will be valued, not overlooked,” she said.
The Student Nurses Association (SNA) of College of Nursing, DHD, portrayed the theme through a role play. Naomi A/S invoked God’s blessing, while Rev Yhunlo Thong, Chaplain of DHD, offered special prayers for the nurses. Nurses of DHD presented a special musical number.
