Today August 19th 2014 is World Humanitarian Day and This Year we are shining the spotlight on humanitarians (NURSES) in Nigeria and profiling Humanitarian Heroes – Our Nurses in all walks of life, who are committed to making a difference.
This day provides an opportunity to celebrate the spirit that inspires humanitarian work in nurses around the world. Thousands of Nurses across the globe are doing incredible work every day. But unfortunately some of them pay the ultimate price.
