Banner is ."An image of Florence Nightingale is projected on the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, on International Nurses Day and to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the nurse, Tuesday, May 12, 2020. Historians have praised Florence Nightingale on the 200th anniversary of her birth, and said her legacy has "never been more relevant" amid the coronavirus pandemic. Staff at the Florence Nightingale Museum in Westminster said her key nursing values – which focused on maintaining good hygiene, regularly washing hands and carrying out evidence-based practices – have been widely echoed over the past months.

“It is  midday in Geneva, Switzerland,  and the image of Florence Nightingale is in front of me. I think of — and pay respect to — today's 20 million nurses so devotedly, day and night, applying the precepts and inspiration that Nightingale has sent down the ages. And as this midday strikes, I want to send very special thoughts and appreciation to you all…. for conceiving, implementing, managing, and developing the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health. This brilliant construct has mobilized and energized thousands,  awakening a world conscientiousness on the achievements and self-sacrifice of nurses everywhere.” - C.R. (Geneva, Switzerland)
“I felt connected to the heart of humanity and felt a circle of love enveloping, supporting and honouring all the nurses around the world. I enjoyed the meditation which I listened to in both English and French. Bravo to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.  It was a wonderful way to feel my connection to all of you, to all of life and to the nurses who are working so hard at great personal risk. I felt the love and care and know what we did was supportive of the awakening human heart.” - T.S. (Vancouver, British Columbia)
