25^th Florence Nightingale Awards — 2026

Message

I am immensely pleased to learn that the Anglo Indian Unity Centre in association with Department of Health and Family Welfare is organizing the Florence Nightingale Awards ceremony.

Florence Nightingale is recognized as a social Reformer who revolutionized nursing. She is remembered as a visionary who was instrumental in making nursing a respectable profession. Nurses and other health care workers are rightly celebrated as heroes who reduce suffering of the sick and promote wellness in a big way.

I congratulate all the deserving nurses of Karnataka who are being honoured with the Florence Nightingale Award. I hope that the organizers will continue to identify deserving health care workers and motivate them to continue their selfless work with kindness in years to come.
