We celebrate International Nurses Day around the world every year on May 12, which is the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. DAI also commemorates this important day each year to ensure nurses are honoured and recognised for their work.
Many of our members are retired nurses, and without nurses, many of the services we end up needing would not be available.
The World Health Organisation has also designated 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, to recognise the important work they do, and the vital role they play in providing health services.
They also celebrated them on International Nurses Day, and DAI also celebrated and honoured nurses on World Health Day.
Today, Dementia Alliance International (DAI) is asking you to make a donation to support our important work, in honour of the many nurses in our organisation, and the work they have continued to do in supporting other so many other people also diagnosed with dementia.
Once a nurse, always a nurse!
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our sponsors may not be in a position to commit to further funding this year and beyond... We therefore need your help.
