On Tuesday, 13th May 2025, C-Care came alive with purpose and appreciation as we gathered to celebrate International Nurses Day a global moment to honour the critical role nurses play in our healthcare systems and communities.
Representing our organization was our Founder, Dorcus Magoba, who had the privilege of delivering the keynote address to the dedicated nursing team at C-Care. In a heartfelt and empowering speech, she reminded us that while nurses are often the quiet backbone of health systems, their impact is nothing short of transformational.
“You are not just caregivers—you are culture-setters, change agents, and economic pillars,” Dorcus shared during her address.
The theme for this year, “Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies,” was not just a slogan it was a call to action. Dorcus emphasized the importance of investing in nurses’ wellbeing, mental health, professional development, and, most importantly, their attitude. She challenged each nurse to reflect on the energy they bring, the consistency they uphold, and the standard they set every day.
Key Takeaways from the Address:
- Your attitude is your superpower: Even in the most challenging circumstances, nurses have the power to uplift, reassure, and lead.
- Excellence is in the details: Every action, no matter how small, contributes to patient outcomes and trust.
- Be the nurse you’d want at your bedside: A simple yet powerful reminder of the human side of care.
As we reflect on this celebration, we are reminded that when we care for our nurses, we build stronger communities and more resilient economies.
To every nurse reading this thank you. Your work matters. Your heart matters. And your presence makes all the difference.
Happy International Nurses Day 2025!
