The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has called on the Federal Government to increase the retirement age of nurses from 60 to 70 years.
President of NANNM, Nurse Mike Nnachi, who made the call at the flag for 2021 International Nurses week in Abuja said this became imperative as about 50 per cent of the workforce in the health delivery system are nurses and needed to be encouraged and motivated.
He noted that despite the passion of the nurses to deliver qualitative healthcare, a lot of challenges abound as insecurity is one of the challenges hindering the effectiveness of Nurses.
