Kuala Lumpur: Nurses are the dedicated frontliners who remain constantly prepared, regardless of time or circumstance, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. In conjunction with International Nurses Day 2025, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, called on all nurses to continue delivering exemplary service in strengthening the national healthcare system.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, in a Facebook post, Ahmad Zahid conveyed his deep appreciation to all nurses in Malaysia for their invaluable contributions, compassion, and unwavering dedication. He highlighted the sacrifices nurses make, stating, “While we are resting, they stay awake through the night monitoring patients. While we spend time with our families, they stand firm in wards, treatment rooms and ambulances, selflessly caring for strangers with kindness and empathy.”

Ahmad Zahid also extended his wishes for blessings upon the nurses for their noble efforts. International Nurses Day is observed annually on May 12 to honour the contributions of nurses to society.
