By James Deng Dimo WAU, 13th May, 2011 [Gurtong] - Western Bahr el Ghazal State’s Wau teaching hospital staff joined the world on Thursday in honouring the International Nurses Day under the theme “Closing the gap: Increasing Access and Equity” as nurses marched together with hundreds of other citizens on the streets. All the nursing staff of Wau hospital marked the day as an integral part of the nursing profession and pledged to discharge their duties sincerely with conviction. While addressing the public gathering during the occasion, the Director of Nursing at Wau teaching hospital, Mr. Issac Natali Tulba said that South Sudan still lagged behind in terms of qualified nursing and urged international bodies to assist in capacity building. “We expect possible support for our nurses in their endeavour to provide better services in the welfare of the community,” Tulba said. Tulba also stated that the basic service expected from the nurses is the nursing touch, despite the fact that patients suffer from dreaded diseases; good nursing sometimes enables them to live a prolonged life. He further urged the nurses not to depend on rewards while discharging their duties but rather concentrate and be dedicated in saving human lives. In an exclusive interview with Gurtong, nurses working at Wau Teaching Hospital disclosed that one nurse in the hospital attends to more than 30 patients as well as midwifes, whereas one nurse should attend to a maximum of four patients per day.
