Nurses and midwives are crucial frontline health workers. They toil through some of the most challenging conditions: low salaries in some contexts, long working hours in sometimes wanting hygiene environments, the threat of deadly diseases among other challenges. They are committed to making and keeping the world a healthier place even if it may put their life in jeopardy. They are there to prevent us from becoming ill through vaccinations and vital health education. They are there to carry new life into this world.
