“I feel proud that I am a nurse. Even though I am in a remote area where there are difficulties, I am really proud to serve the community.

I have been working here for 16 years.

I have provided treatment to patients from generation to generation. For example, some children received treatment from me. When they grew up and got married, some brought their children to get treatment from me as well.

If there wasn’t a nurse working in this area, people might not receive health education from medical staff. They would not know how to stay in good health, this could cause an outbreak.

After working the whole day, I go back home feeling proud. It’s an honour to serve patients.”
