International Day of Mourning – Remembering nurses who have died from COVID-19 during global pandemic
On this International Day of Mourning, which commemorates those who have died at work, The End COVID for All campaign and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF), come together to pay tribute to the 3,000 nurses across the world who have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
Tragically, that is more nurses than the total of nurses who died throughout the entirety of World War 1.
“Nurses around the world have been at the forefront during the fight against COVID-19. Today, we stop and reflect on their extraordinary commitment, dedication and the sacrifices they made for those people in their care,” ANMF Acting Federal Secretary, Lori-Anne Sharp, said today.
