I, therefore, request brothers and sisters, day by day, that you devote the best of your knowledge to your solidarity. Your service is to preserve and restore the health of Zambians. Today in Zambia, a nurse is there to play a role through which a patient will be helped to recover from an illness or injury to regain as much independence as possible. Another thing, which is not pleasing, is when a person is dying, they seem not to care much. However, the nurse's role is to help the patient meet death with as little distress and as much dignity as possible.
Nurses are the second mothers of the Zambian people.
They must be tolerant and show empathy. Government should also try to help poor Zambians who are badly treated by these nurses. They must not just close their ears and eyes as if they do not hear or see how common people are being treated in hospitals. Most people today, especially in rural areas, prefer to be able to feel pain or die than going to hospital to be insulted and after paying fees are neglected. Any one who has spent time as a patient in Zambian hospitals can agree with me-most nurses are too rude to patients I request the LRF for assistance.
