Bandar Seri Begawan: 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 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 underscores the responsibility of midwives in safeguarding the well-being of mothers and infants in all circumstances.
According to Radio Television Brunei, a "safe, supportive, and positive" workplace environment can promote better and quality healthcare delivery, higher workforce retention, and stronger, more resilient health systems. Nurses and midwives are not only considered healthcare providers but also serve as key agents contributing to economic resilience, national development, and social progress.
