"Every year International Nurses Day being celebrated across Jammu province but they never recommended our names for the National Florence Nightingale Award due to dual faces of the concerned authority, who rhetoric during function but nothing is done on ground, "they added.
They criticized the partial and discriminatory approach of the some of the officials of the Health and Medical Education Department, who deliberately ignored the contribution of the Jammu Nurses for last many years. They also slammed the attitude of the Indian National Nursing Council which has never dared to ask H&ME Department for not projecting the names of the Jammu Province.
They also said that there are hundreds of Nurses who deserve the award but not a single Nurse got the same. They asked is there no nurse in Jammu, who rendered meritorious services and entitled for the award?
Talking to Early Times, the President of the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Employees Federation Sushil Sudan criticized the Administration of Health for adopting discrimination attitude toward Jammu province.
