Mr. Speaker, every year, National Nursing Week offers us an opportunity to draw attention to the essential contribution made by nurses to health care and to the wellbeing of the population.
Nurses have a long tradition of caring for families, and they have the necessary knowledge and skill to make a difference. Their theme this year, moreover, is, “Always There for You: Caring for Families”.
Nurses constantly promote better public policies for family health, in order to promote health, prevent illness and provide the entire population with quality treatment, care and rehabilitation services.
Let us all take an active part, with pride, in National Nursing Week.
