Greetings from the Honourable Minister of Health to all Nurses and those health professionals who also perform the functions of a Nurse.    [Posted on: 2012-05-10]

Dear Colleagues (Nurses)

The world community appreciates and acknowledges your contributions towards the development of health system. Indeed, you are the basic foundation of health system. You work day and night. You sacrifice your family life, celebrations and holidays because of the call of your duty at night in hospitals. You are no less than Florence Nightingale. This is what I have come to learn from working and interacting together with you in the last four years.

 

On this International Nurses Day, which is observed to commemorate the Birth Anniversary of Florence Nightingale, who was born on May 12, 1820 and also to recognize your services, I, in humility and salutation, wish you all very happy Nurses Day. On this day, let us also renew our commitment to work towards four Cs (Care, Comfort, Conscious and Compassion), which we always discuss and reflect. Long Live Nurses !!!!!

 

With deep respects

 

 

Zangley Dukpa

WORLD HEALTH DAY, 7 April, 2012    [Posted on: 2012-04-04]

Message from Minister for Health, Lyonpo Zangley Dukpa

Ageing and health-to which each and every one of us can relate to- is the theme of this year's World Health Day. Ageing is a natural phenomenon and an inevitable process. Healthy ageing involves the journey of human life itself, right from mother’s womb till death encompassing physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual experiences. It is about growing old happily and passing on what he or she has learned throughout life. This day emphasizes healthy and productive living which entails, besides enabling older men and women to live longer, making active contributions by the old to their families, peers, communities and the nation.

“People age well when they continue to contribute and participate in society, as much as they wish to, with respect and support from their families and community."
