Tunisia-Tunisie Numérique pays tribute to Tunisian nurses, the heroes of COVID-19 on International Nurses Day 2020

Tunisie Numérique honours and pays tribute to Tunisia fighters on the International Nurses Day 2020 as nurses are at the forefront of combating epidemics and pandemics by providing high quality and respectful treatment and care.

Nurses in Tunisia and across its hospitals are fighting to save patients life while being away from their family. Today comes as a reminder of the sacrifices of these women.

This year on International Nurses Day, International Council of Nursing, WHO and Nursing Now are encouraging people to pay tribute to nurses and health workers who tragically died fighting against the coronavirus by promoting #RememerHealthHeros on social media.

The theme for International Nurses Day 2020 is ‘Nursing the World to Health’ concentrating on the role of nurses globally. On this International Nurses Day, the World Health Organisation urges countries to ensure-

1. Occupational safety and health of nurses- this includes access to protective equipment to ensure their health.

2. Mental health support- nurses are working round the clock during the COVID-19 pandemic hampering their mental health. WHO encourages countries to provide help to nurses with timely pay, sick leave, insurance and mental support.

3. Financial support to nurses and providing them essential resources which can help them respond to and control COVID-19 and future outbreaks.
