Over 50 nurses honoured on International Nurses Day

The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) on Monday honoured over 50 nurses during its Annual Nursing Award Ceremony in observance of International Nurses Day 2025.
The event was held under the theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies,” and served as an opportunity to celebrate the invaluable contributions of nurses to the healthcare sector, the Ministry of Health said in a release.
The award ceremony recognised the unwavering dedication, compassion, and professionalism of nursing staff who continue to serve on the frontlines of patient care.
The ceremony brought together nurses from various departments, hospital administrators, and special guests, all of whom gathered to acknowledge the outstanding service and commitment shown by these healthcare heroes.
Awards were presented to individuals who demonstrated excellence in patient care, leadership, innovation, and teamwork.
Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony, who attended the ceremony, emphasised the vital role nurses play in delivering quality healthcare.
“Without nurses and their sacrifices, we would not be able to provide the services our people need,” he told the gathering.
The minister also commended the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation for hosting such events, which recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of nurses.
GPHC remains committed to supporting and uplifting its nursing staff, recognising that their dedication is critical to improving health outcomes and maintaining a strong and responsive healthcare system, the ministry stated.
