On this International Day of Nurses, Belgian caregivers would like to remember the need to revalue this profession, which is facing serious shortages. The dire situation due to the health crisis.
Like every year, International Nurses Day will be celebrated on May 12, the date of birth of Florence Nightingale. To mark the occasion, the entire region is gathering events around the world to celebrate these professionals who have been particularly affected by the health crisis. The coins will be distributed to doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, pharmacists and paramedics in our premises through recognition. Around two million 2-euro coins will actually go into circulation during the year in honor of the efforts made by doctors, nurses and other members of the health staff during the coronavirus pandemic. The appearance of the new coins was unveiled this Wednesday by the Federal Minister of Finance, Vincent Van Peteghem (CD&V) at the University Hospital in Ghent.
A tribute was received quite coldly among the main interested parties. “We’ve seen lots of reactions of anger and panic since this announcementThe head nurse at a major Brussels hospital mourns Martin.
