Since the onset of Covid-19, nurses have been our unsung heroes, remaining at the frontline of the pandemic. However, not much has been done to help them emotionally during this challenging time.
In light of this, Patient Health (Pty)Ltd, Maxum Smart entrepreneur will launch âAfrinurseâ â a digital platform designed to empower and support nurses throughout Africa, on International Nurses Day, celebrated annually on 12 May.
The International Council of Nurses (ICN) estimates that the ageing of the nursing workforce, combined with declining population growth worldwide, could lead to a potential shortfall of up to 13 million nurses by 2030.
