JEDDAH — Nursing Students at Batterjee Medical College (BMC) organized the Nursing Day Festival to raise awareness on nursing as a profession, its divisions and specialties and the services provided by nurses to patients.



The festival, which was attended by a number of faculty members and administrative staff, included lectures and an exhibition with different stalls, each highlighting the different roles of nurses in providing health.



The festival also highlighted the importance of using the latest technology in order to have access to the best quality standards in patient care.



Dr. Mohammad Tayeb, director of Student Affairs, stressed the importance of changing the negative perceptions many people in the Kingdom have about the nursing profession. He emphasized that nursing is a humane and noble profession that is based on academic and scientific experience.



"Holding such events is intended to raise awareness about the importance of nursing as a profession, its effective role in the healthcare field and its contributions to social and economic development,” he said.



BMC Dean Dr. Hassan Shaibah said the college has always been eager to support the personal and professional skills of its students by holding such activities and events.



He stressed that the college is committed to provide high-quality education and training environment in order to meet international standards and to ensure that all BMC graduates meet the needs of the health sector.
