Today, on International Nurses Day, we pay tribute to the compassion, strength, and commitment of our nurses.

As we reflect on this year’s theme, “Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies,” we recognize that the well-being of nurses is directly linked to the strength of our health systems and national growth. Investing in nurses means investing in healthier societies, productive communities, and a more resilient future.

Today and every day, let us value, protect, and empower those who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

"Be Part of the Plan" by understanding that biodiversity is essential for human health. Biodiversity loss channels infectious diseases by increasing zoonotic threats. Protecting nature is protecting ourselves. @usaid_india @Jhpiego #worldbiodiversityday

Climate change isn't just about temperature shifts. Disruptions in temperature, precipitation, humidity, and climate patterns alter vector and animal behaviors, increasing human exposure to infectious zoonotic disease. #PartofThePlan @usaid_india

Protect your health! Antimicrobial resistance affects us all. By understanding the importance of responsible antibiotic use, we can contribute to preserving these life-saving drugs for ourselves and future generations. Let's be part of the solution. #AMR @USAID @JhpiegoIndia

[USAID RISE INDIA @usaidriseindia]

Irrational use of antimicrobials in human, animal & environment health sectors leads to #AMR . Concerted efforts to enhance awareness, train healthcare workers and implement robust infection control practices are required to combat it #WAAW #RISE @USAID @JhpiegoIndia

[H & FW Dept Odisha @HFWOdisha]

Rapid tests for #Dengue are not reliable as their sensitivity and specificity are doubtful, #Odisha Government has urged people to refrain from testing of Dengue on rapid diagnosis kits & instead visit Government sentinel sites for tests. #OdishaCares
