Nagaland Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Dr Neikiesalie Nicky Kire today called upon the medical fraternity, especially the doctors and nurses to join hands in delivering better health care services.
"Both doctors and nurses need each other, therefore we have to work together without neglecting our jobs," Dr Nicky said while addressing the International Nurses Day celebration on the theme, "Nurses: A force for change: Improving Health System Resilience" at Naga Hospital Authority here this after afternoon.
Exhorting the nurses, he urged them to rededicate themselves to change for the better, and also re-examine their purpose of getting into nursing profession.
"We should be responsible for everything what we do and also what is expected to be done by us," he said.
The Minister also appealed them to encourage each other and perform their job without being tensed.
Deputy Director of Nursing, Vilhoulenuo said, "Nurses make a significant contribution to developing and maintaining resilience in health system".
She therefore advocated need for strong and resilient health system which will be able to respond effectively to challenges.
"It is imperative that we identify in our organisations and in ourselves, opportunities to strengthen and develop resilience," she said adding that nurses can help guide improvements in the quality of health service delivery.
"With redesigned health systems and full participation of nurses in policy, we will be better equipped to provide care for all, even in times of difficulties," she added.
