Tribute to Florence Nightingale
JAN marks the centenary of Florence Nightingale's death by celebrating her tremendous achievements.
Florence Nightingale is best known for caring for thousands of wounded soldiers in the Crimean War. However, what people might not know is that Florence Nightingale was a legendary reformer for health in England, a campaigner for better sanitation and a respectable writer on the issue of healthcare. It's Nightingale's writings on hospital organization and planning that changed our healthcare system for the better not just for her own country but around the world. By far one of her greatest achievements was to turn nursing into a respectable profession for women, cementing Florence into one the most influential figures of the 19th Century.
