As the world celebrates InternationalNursesDay, nurses in South Africa have urged the government to invest in the profession which is already facing shortages.

It is estimated that there’s a shortage of 5,9 million nurses globally with South Africa also facing a 30 000 shortage by 2030.

“I have said the UK has planned through the national health services, have committed to come and recruit in Africa. Their target is not to get no less than 50 000 nurses starting from this year, and it will be easy they will just put money and nurses will be migrating to the UK for better conditions. SA will produce, as it happens now, the government will invest in your degree/diploma and does community service. Government invests in five years of your training.

About 1000 nurses attended the event to mark this day. The nurses say despite the challenges faced by the sector, saving lives remains a priority for them.
