Nurses Angels of Mercy for Patients: Leader
On the occasion of the auspicious birth of Lady Zeinab al-Kubra (pbuh) and National Nurses Day, Imam Khamenei spoke to the people via a live TV broadcast on Sunday morning.
“I congratulate all nurses on the National Day of Nurses, a day which is decorated (and remembered) with the name of Lady Zeinab (SA). I feel it my duty to express my condolences to the dear and respected families of nurses who lost their loved ones to the COVID-19,” the Leader said.
“Nurses are angels of mercy for patients. This is a true metaphor and not an exaggeration at all. Nurses take care of both the body and soul of patients. In reality, nurses sympathize with, caress, and comfort patients.
“Nurses are medics' partners and colleagues. If a patient that requires a nurse receives medical care from the best physicians but no nurse is present to support him/her, the patient's recovery will be very difficult,” the Leader added, according to Khamenei.ir.
Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say that “during the COVID-19 pandemic, our nurses have sacrificed in a way that has astounded everyone! During the pandemic, people realized how significant a nurse's job is and what lofty values it has.”
