To commemorate the birth date of Florence Nightingale, every year International Nurses Day is celebrated on 12th of May.
 The International Nurses Day Theme 2011 is: Closing the Gap: Increasing Access and Equity
At HCG we recognize the invaluable contribution our nurses make in the treatment and cure of cancer patients.
 On the occasion of International Nurses Day, we salute the work of cancer care’s untiring frontline and celebrate this day by felicitating the nurses and also conducting series of cultural events. The names of the nurses felicitated are as follows:
1.      Ms. Stella
2.      Ms. Kavitha
3.      Mr. Basil
The nurses had this to say:
“Nurses are the heart beat of health care.  We are surrounded by challenges and so much to do, with very little time.  We try and follow what Florence Nightingale has taught us and who is our true inspiration” says Sister Stella
 “In the fight against cancer, we play an important role since we are with patients 24/7. I’m proud of this felicitation since it recognizes my work and I’m glad that I played an important role in saving a life.” says Sister Kavitha
“Caring is the essence of Nursing. We come across many patients and we step into their lives to make a difference” says Brother Basil
