Enugu govt seeks nurses’ commitment

ENUGU State deputy governor,  Cecelia Ezilo has charged nurses to be committed in their duties, uphold
the ethics of their profession and exhibit clinical excellence.            

  She gave the charge recently while declaring open the 15th

annual general meeting of heads of nursing schools in federal health institutions held at Dannic Hotels, Enugu.

  The deputy governor who was a special guest of honour   at the occasion said that nursing is a major player in health care delivery and nurses constitute the largest segment of health care providers. She added that the health sector was a major issue of concern to any government and that Enugu State government would continue to support the sector.

  The deputy governor commended the heads of nursing services departments and principals of the nursing schools for their response to issues affecting the welfare of humanity. She urged the participants to take the conference serious because the deliberations would help them to be more effective in clinical matters.

   In a remark, the chairman of the occasion and former Registrar of Nursing and Midwifery Council, Mr. Philip Ndasu said the

conference was aimed at bringing together heads of nursing schools to discuss issues relating to nursing education and practice.

   He noted that it would afford them opportunity to share experiences and report on the present global nursing practise.
