President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has sent greetings to nurses across the country.
May 12 marks the first international Nurses Day since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
The president, via Twitter, highlighted that this year’s Nurses Day “reminds us how noble a calling nursing is as nurses around the world selflessly care for those with Covid-19”.
