About the conference

The International Nurses Day (IND) is an international day celebrated around the world on ‎‎12 May of each year to mark the contributions nurses make to society. The International ‎Council of Nurses (ICN) has celebrated this day since 1965.‎

In January 1974, 12 May was chosen to celebrate the day as it is the anniversary of the birth ‎of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Each year, ICN prepares and ‎distributes the International Nurses' Day Kit which contains educational and public ‎information materials for use by nurses everywhere.‎

Also, May 5th is the internationally recognized day for highlighting the work of midwives ‎‎(the International Day of the Midwife).‎
