Africa-Press – Angola. The Chairman of the Order of Nurses of Angola (ORDNFA), Paulo Luvualo, defended yesterday, in Malanje, the need for the Angolan Executive to review the training policy for health professionals, through the definition of licensing criteria for teaching institutions of nursing.
This measure arises from the existence of several schools that teach courses in health sciences without a license or other requirements, including laboratories.
Speaking at the act of the International Nurses Day, which is celebrated yesterday, Paulo Luvualo, referred that the Executive must stop the continuous emergence of institutions of the kind, under penalty of placing in the market cadres without the required professional quality.
He pointed out the ethical and deontological principles of the profession, as factors to always be taken into account, with a view to the humanization of professional nursing services and care.
On the other hand, the person in charge called on nurses to do everything to dignify the class, guided by ethics, humanism and professionalism, serving all patients.
Without giving details, he made it known that currently the country has 40,000 registered nurses in ORDENFA who are unemployed, for various reasons, so efforts are being made to overcome this situation.
The Order of Nurses currently controls 87,617 professionals across the country.
The act of the nurse’s day was marked by lectures on primary health care as a health system strategy, care for newborns in primary health care, drug administration and the factors that contribute to errors in administration and basic suport of life.
The event took place under the motto “Nursing Professionals Engaged in Improving Primary Health Care” and it was attended by nurses from all provinces of the country, among other guests.
The International Nursing or Nurses Day aims to honor the British Florence Nightingale, as a landmark of modern nursing in the world, born on May 12, 1820.
