Every patient is different. Every situation is different and accordingly many a time nurses have to mould themselves so as to deliver effective nursing care", said Dr Ravnider Rattan Pal, Medical Superintendent, GMC. "In the country, there is dearth of nurses. This is due to lack of awareness in community to take nursing as a professional career", he said.

Similar functions were also held at SGMS Hospital, GH Sarwal and GH Gandhi Nagar where services of nursing staff were appreciated. |
