Government Hospitals chief executive officer Dr Maryam Al Jalahma has said the support and attention given to the health sector by His Majesty King Hamad and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, have contributed to establishing an advanced healthcare system built on efficiency, sustainability and high-quality services, while also strengthening the role of national medical cadres, particularly nursing professionals, as a core pillar of integrated healthcare delivery.
Marking International Nurses Day, observed annually on May 12, she said nursing staff at Government Hospitals represent a model of humanitarian and professional dedication, demonstrating high competence, strong commitment, and the ability to respond effectively to various conditions and challenges.
She noted that their daily efforts contribute to patient safety, improved healthcare quality, and enhanced standards of care across the kingdom.
Dr Al Jalahma added that nursing plays a vital role in developing healthcare services through contributions to quality and patient safety programmes, training and continuous education initiatives, and efforts to improve patient experience, in line with national goals to advance the health sector and achieve the highest standards of care.
She further noted that this year’s theme, ‘Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives’, reflects the importance of investing in and empowering nursing professionals as a key element in sustaining healthcare services and safeguarding community health.
She affirmed that Government Hospitals will continue supporting nursing staff through training and professional development programmes, enhancing the work environment, and providing opportunities that highlight their humanitarian and leadership role within the healthcare system.
