CHENNAI: Amudha Pandiarajan wakes up at the wee hours, says a prayer, lights a candle and gets ready to tend to the patients in a COVID-19 care unit. “The prayer is for the living and those who are struggling; the candle is for the ones we’ve lost in this fight. This little ritual every morning gives me the strength to get out of bed and meet the patients. From providing comfort through words during isolation to reassuring their families of their safety and return, elame pananume (we have to do everything). Humanity needs such selfless support and I am glad that I am among the many frontline workers, who’ve been fighting this battle for everyone,” says the nurse at a government hospital.

Pretoria - The Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital in Muckleneuk has chosen to earmark and commemorate the hard work of nurses who have been at the forefront of the Covid-19 pandemic with the installation of a unique bronze sculpture.
The iconic sculpture was crafted by renowned South African sculptor Angus Taylor, known for his powerful and monumental works using a range of materials from his immediate environment. It was officially unveiled on International Nurses’ day last week.
The theme for this year’s International Nurses Day was Nurses: A Voice to Lead a Vision for Future Healthcare and, according to the private hospital, the sculpture honoured 117 years of nursing and was a fitting tribute and addition to one of South Africa’s oldest private hospitals.

A warm tribute has been paid to a former prisoners of war nurse whose career began during the Second World War.
Betty Brighton, of Brooke House care home, was presented with chocolates and flowers to show their appreciation of her service as part of International Nurse s Day on Wednesday.
Betty, who was born in Holloway, London, started her training at Leicester Royal Infirmary Hospital at the age of 18.
During her time there, she was involved in nursing prisoners of war and also miners, due to it being a mining community.
