Being a medical frontline warrior necessitates bravery.

If you save one life, you are a hero; if you save many lives, you are a nurse. They appear when they are needed, completely disregarding their family’s obligations. The job of a nurse is not as simple as it appears. They are still stressed as they deal with changes in their patients' medical status. A minor error can lead to the patient’s death. It’s difficult to see patients who have been injured, have undergone surgery, or have died. Nurses, on the other hand, are unwavering in their efforts to save patients' lives in life-threatening situations; the rest is up to GOD.

Several historical facts illuminate the sacrifices made by medical frontline warriors. They, too, become victims of fatal diseases that kill. A recent COVID-19 pandemic kills not only millions of people worldwide, but also many doctors and nurses. We must recognise the commitment and professionalism of doctors and nurses who put the lives of those affected ahead of their own.

According to WHO, over 500,000 nurses and doctors were affected during and after the Pandemic’s peak, with over 100,000 dying as a result of coronavirus. The number of people who die may increase if they do not treat, even with limited resources and vaccines.

We must come forward to recognise and honour nurses' efforts and professional work. Keep in mind that they are dealing with one of the most delicate aspects of saving people’s lives, where every second counts. Because they are uninterested in curing machines and other man-made objects, celebrate International Nurses Day by praising and motivating them to pursue their passion for saving lives even further. Nursing is more than a job; it is a virtue that everyone in this field strives for every day.
