Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) proudly joins the world, and the nursing fraternity in particular, in commemorating the International Day of Nursing namely 12 May 2021 in acknowledgement of the extra-ordinary contribution the nurses make to the wellbeing of society in our midst and across the globe.
Many attributes have been ascribed to the vocation of nursing and other poetic definitions have been given in order to express the extra ordinary role nurses play in our everyday life. As for us at BFTU we share the view that the term, “Nurse” is just another word to describe a person strong enough to tolerate anything and soft enough to understand anyone.
As hospitalisations increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses are playing a crucial role in taking care of each and every patient regardless of boundaries

In view of World Nursing Day, The Association of Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes (APHNH) announced their commitment to initiating and expanding training programmes and intensive care training courses for nurses in the private sector.
“As cases rise again in the country, we are very thankful for the nurses working tirelessly to keep us safe. The strain on them is immense, especially given the country’s shortage of nurses and paramedical staff. In the near future, we can ease their burden by training more nurses and strengthening the sector at large,” commented APHNH Secretary Dr. Sunil Ratnapriya.
