On the occasion of their international professional day, nurses from all regions of Armenia and medical institutions in Yerevan were awarded honour certificates by the Minister of Health.
"Any programme, any reform in the field of health care cannot be implemented without the involvement of nurses," First Deputy Minister of Health Lena Nanushyan said, revaluing the role and work of nurses. She presented certificates of honour to approximately 150 nurses.
"I also want to thank all the nurses who aren't here today and who weren't recognised for their daily caring and professional work." As a result of your efforts, we will be able to carry out our plans and build a stronger health-care system," said Deputy Minister Lena Nanushyan, assuring nurses that the Ministry of Health is concerned about all of their concerns.
The Ministry of Health established a nursing committee, which directly participates in the adoption of all nursing-related decisions.
