Nurses for Patient Safety: Targeting Counterfeit and Substandard Medicines
The 2005 IND theme aims to increase awareness of the existence and consequences of counterfeit medicines; provide tools to identify counterfeits and report any suspicious medicines; encourage nurses and other health professionals to lobby governments and regulatory authorities for attention to the existence and dangers of counterfeit and substandard medicines. By targeting counterfeit medicines, nurses can help ensure the safety of patients and restore the public's trust in health care systems.

The White Heart pin - Symbol for Nursing
 |
The white heart is the universal symbol for nursing. It is meant to characterize the caring, knowledge and humanity that infuse the work and spirit of nursing. The white heart is also a unifying symbol for nurses globally. White was selected because it brings together all colours, demonstrating nursing’s acceptance of all people. White also has a worldwide association with nursing, caring, hygiene and comfort. The heart shape communicates humanity and the central place that nursing has in quality health care.
All proceeds from the sales of the White Heart pin will go to the ICN's Florence Nightingale International Foundation in support of the Girl Child project. |
