May Health Campaigns
International Nurses Day
International Nurses Day is celebrated annually on the 12th May to honor and recognize the critical role nurses play in providing health care around the world. This day marks the contributions that nurses make to society, often under challenging circumstances, and highlights the need for continued support and appreciation for the nursing profession.
International Nurses Day is observed every year on May 12th, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.
Thank you, to our wonderful Nursing team
Deaf Awareness Week
This year’s Deaf Awareness Week runs from 4th – 10th May 2026. This years theme is ‘Right to understand- Together, we break barriers.’
The deaf community often faces significant barriers to communication, which can lead to social isolation, limited employment opportunities, and reduced access to essential services.

Stroke Awareness Month
Stroke Awareness Month takes place every May to raise awareness of the devastating impact of stroke. It also highlights the importance of providing vital support for stroke survivors and those who care for them.
