There are exceptional nurses in South Africa, braving the pandemic to ensure the public get the healthcare needed; now you can nurture a nurse as thanks!
South Africa (04 June 2020) – The Exceptional Nurse Campaign has been championing the rights of nurses throughout South Africa for the past 5 years. They provide scholarships for exceptional nursing students and have partnered with the Dr Makhanya, the Chief Nursing Officer of South Africa, to start the Nurture a Nurse SA Movement in our country.
The movement is a simple group on Facebook where medical professionals and the general public can interact to help provide the nurses of South Africa with physical, emotional and spiritual support during the Covid19 Pandemic.
A similar group was started in Australia recently, gathering more than 80 000 members in 2 days, who were able to physically and emotionally help the nursing staff throughout the country with things needed to help them perform their duties to the best of their abilities.
The nurses of South Africa form 60% of the incredible team of frontline workers caring for those members of our country who get sick. Besides using their medical knowledge to keep people safe and well, nurses play a huge role in supporting patients both emotionally and spiritually during a difficult time in a patient’s life. Let’s support them where we can!
Please see below the message from Dr Makhanya, the Chief Nursing Officer of South Africa.
