HYDERABAD: They are not knights in shining armour, but silent warriors in PPEs guarding us from a pandemic. With not a minute to rest, they have been putting their lives on the line for over a year now to nurse us back to health.
Every year, May 12 is observed as International Nurses Day and it has assumed all the more significance ever since the pandemic broke out last year.

May 12 marks the international Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Awareness Day, on Florence Nightingale’s birthday (as it is thought she developed ME/CFS after an infection contracted during the Crimean war). Each year on this day ANZMES (the Associated New Zealand ME Society) seeks to provide education and build awareness, as well as advocate for and support those with ME/CFS and their families. This year, with COVID-19 still present globally, attention must also be on those diagnosed with Long COVID. Long COVID will present new challenges. Many of those challenges have already been faced by the ME/CFS community.

1 The Churchill Hospital in Oxford has been providing excellent treatment for local patients for 75 years. The hospital off Old Road, Headington, was officially opened by the Duchess of Kent in January 1942. Its initial purpose was to look after wartime air raid casualties. That proved unnecessary and the buildings were leased to the United States Army. When the Americans moved out after the war, the first local patients moved in, in January 1946. Like all Oxford hospitals, the Churchill has had its fair share of fundraisers, supporters and wellwishers over the years, as these pictures illustrate.
