NEW DELHI : Nursing is currently the largest occupational group in the health sector, accounting for approximately 59% of the health professionals.

They serve as the first point of contact and this makes their role all the more important in the healthcare delivery system, said Dr Bharati Pravin Pawar, Union minister of state for health and family welfare on Thursday.

While addressing an event to mark International Nurses Day, Pawar said: “Nurses play a vital role in the healthcare industry and are the most important link between a doctor and the patient.

Nurses are the heroes who attend to the needs of their patients, be it day or night, without a frown on their face. They are the backbone of the healthcare industry, who tirelessly take care of all the requirements of the patients." The event was organised by the Indian Nursing Council (INC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
