Honouring the Nurses of Ruby Hall Clinic: The Heartbeat of Healthcare

Every year on May 12th, the world comes together to celebrate the invaluable contributions of nurses on International Nurses Day. This day serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role nurses play in the healthcare ecosystem, particularly amidst the challenges of the past years. As we commemorate this year’s International Nurses Day, the theme “Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care” resonates profoundly, highlighting the pivotal role nurses play in shaping the future of healthcare.

Nurses are the cornerstone of healthcare, serving as advocates, caregivers, and innovators. They are the compassionate souls who work tirelessly to heal, comfort, and empower patients. This year’s theme underscores the significance of nurses not only as frontline caregivers but also as leaders driving positive economic change in healthcare systems worldwide.

In the words of Retd. Capt. Sunita Fernandes, Deputy Director – Nursing Services, Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowrie, “Our nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare. This year’s theme emphasises their role not just in providing care but also in shaping the future of healthcare delivery. As leaders in patient advocacy and healthcare innovation, nurses have a unique perspective that is invaluable in driving positive change. With over 200 nurses stationed across various departments, each nurse at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowrie plays a pivotal role in delivering safe, top-notch, and patient-centred care.”

International Nurses Day provides an opportunity to express gratitude to nurses for their selfless service and dedication. It is a day to celebrate their achievements, honour their contributions, and recognise the profound impact they have on the health and well-being of individuals and communities. Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowrie takes immense pride in its unwavering dedication to nursing excellence. Recognising the profound impact of the nurse-patient partnership, the hospital emphasises the fusion of compassionate care with cutting-edge technology to elevate the patient experience to new heights.

“I firmly believe in the transformative power of nursing in driving the healthcare economy forward. Nurses are not only caregivers; they are innovators, educators, and advocates who play a pivotal role in enhancing patient outcomes and operational efficiency within healthcare systems. By providing compassionate care, promoting preventive measures, and constantly upskilling, nurses not only contribute to the well-being of individuals but also to the overall economic sustainability of the healthcare industry. We must invest in nursing to build a stronger, more resilient, competent and satisfied nursing workforce to meet the challenges ahead,” concludes Major Ranjana Williams, Group Director – Nursing Services, Ruby Hall Clinic. With over 30 years of rich experience in Nursing Services, Maj. Ranjana Williams has served with distinction in various esteemed organisations, including the Indian Armed Forces and renowned healthcare providers such as Fortis, Apollo and Reliance Foundation – Mumbai.
