Celebrating nurses for their courage and commitment to patient-centred care amidst the Coronavirus pandemic

Life Healthcare, one of South Africa’s leading private hospital groups and healthcare providers, permanently employs over 10,000 nurses and this year recognises and celebrates these dedicated and committed healthcare professionals for placing patients at the centre of care amidst the challenges and stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over the past year, our nurses have joined together to lead and support each other as caregivers with heart and substance. They have continued to care for our patients compassionately and thoughtfully.

“This International Nurses’ Day Life Healthcare’s leaders and employees reflect on the remarkable individuals whose careers are founded on principles of care and who have dedicated their lives to making a difference to people’s lives. Theirs are the faces of hope that every patient sees and the hands of compassion that every patient experiences. We acknowledge and honour our nurses today and say thank you for your courage and commitment to patientcentred care amidst the COVID-19 pandemic,” says hospital manager John Fidler

Nurses remain the heartbeat of Life Healthcare hospitals and are trained to be the caregivers of patients but they are also the counsellors, the listeners, the handholders, the smile makers, the advocates, the shoulders to cry on, the advisers and so much more.

We hope this day continues to create more awareness around the role of nursing. Life Healthcare encourages communities and patients to thank a nurse via social media using
