The International Nursing and Midwifery Day celebration highlights the strategic importance of recognising, supporting and investing in nurses and midwives. This year's International Nursing Day celebration theme emphasises the vital role of nurses in strengthening economies, enhancing health systems and ensuring better outcomes for society. Meanwhile, the theme of Midwifery Day emphasises the responsibility of midwives in safeguarding the well-being of mothers and infants in all circumstances.

A “safe, supportive and positive" workplace environment can promote better and quality healthcare delivery, higher workforce retention and stronger and more resilient health systems. Nurses and Midwives are not only considered as healthcare providers, but also serve as key agents that can contribute to economic resilience, national development and social progress.
