National Florence Nightingale Award Ceremony 2010
held on 12th May, 2010 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
Address of the Hon'ble Vice President of India Shri M. Hamid Ansari
It gives me great pleasure to be present in today's function and give away the National Florence Nightingale Awards to outstanding
nursing personnel on the occasion of the Birth Anniversary of Florence Nightingale and the International Nurses Day. I also take this
opportunity to heartily congratulate all the awardees and their families on this occasion and place on record the deep appreciation of
the nation for their hard work and professional commitment to their patients and to public healthcare.
As a developing country with a population of over 1 billion, we face enormous socio-economic challenges; the challenges are even more complex in
the realm of human development. We have to achieve the targets of the Millennium Development Goals and complete the unfinished agendas
regarding communicable diseases, maternal and child healthcare and strengthening our primary healthcare network in both urban and rural areas.
Rapid economic development has also meant dealing with issues of health profile transition such as those related to premature burden of non-
communicable diseases which have emerged as a major public health concern accounting for around half of all deaths in the 30-60 age group.
Nursing is critical to putting in place an efficient, affordable and comprehensive healthcare system and ensuring healthcare delivery in an equitable
manner. The theme for this year's International Nurses Day - Delivering Quality, Serving Communities: Nurses Leading Chronic Care - is appropriate
as there is a massive increase in death and disability resulting from chronic disease. Unlike popular perception that chronic diseases are a
developed country problem, 80 percent of deaths world wide due to chronic diseases occur in low and middle income countries. The WHO has
concluded that it is the poor and the disadvantaged who have to disproportionately bear the increasing burden of chronic diseases due to widening
health gaps between and within countries.
India bears a huge burden of the global case load of chronic diseases. For example, out of the 246 million people globally suffering from diabetes,
India has the largest number of 41 million people with diabetes. The situation in the case of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and chronic respiratory
diseases is broadly similar. These diseases are preventable and cause a huge loss to the national economies, communities and families. Nursing
personnel must understand the magnitude of this health challenge and take coordinated action to promote healthy lifestyles, prevent disease and
provide health care to those in need. The International Council of Nurses has this year called upon each of the world's 13 million nurses to act as
"role models, educators and change agents among their families, friends, work places and local communities to promote healthier lifestyles…to help
stem the tide of chronic disease". I urge each one of you to heed this call.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the immense shortage in nursing personnel is a significant impediment in achieving our public healthcare objectives. India
PDFmyURL.com
has only 8 nurses per ten thousand population in comparison to Sri Lanka which has 14, Indonesia which has 13, Thailand at 37 and Maldives at 33.
We have a nurse to population ratio of 1:1100 as compared to developed country averages of 1:150. It is also estimated that of the 10.35 lakh
registered nurses, active nurses pursuing the profession in the country are only around four lakhs.
It is also anomalous that there are more doctors than nurses in the country and for every 3 doctors there are 2 nurses. In comparison, in most
developed countries, there are three nurses per doctor. There are also significant regional disparities in the location of nursing educational
institutions and availability of nursing personnel in the country. Over 60 percent of the nursing educational institutions are in Southern and Western
India whereas the greatest shortfall of nursing personnel is in the high focus states in Northern and Eastern India. We have a huge gap of around 10
lakh nurses who need to be trained in a time-bound manner to meet the shortfall and to achieve the Bhore Committee recommendation of a nurse to
population ratio of 1:500.
On a different note, it must be acknowledged that nursing is not perceived as an attractive professional option in many areas in our country. One is
compelled to introspect about the possible cultural and social reasons behind it. The government remains committed to enhance resources for
health care and bring about reforms and convergence in service delivery. The efforts of the Hon'ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare have
resulted in a vastly enhanced allocation during the 11th plan period with a focus on increasing the overall availability of nursing personnel and an
emphasis on skills upgradation for nurses.
While we readily perceive the role of quality nursing care in the provision of high-end private healthcare to our citizens and foreigners, it is often
forgotten that it is the General Nursing and Midwives along with the Auxiliary Midwives and Lady Health Visitors who have been instrumental in
taking preventive, promotive and rehabilitative primary healthcare services to the doorsteps of our citizens. It is they who are the face of our public
health services in the vast reaches of rural India and provide vital maternal and child care health services to the community.
I once again congratulate the winners of the awards today for being role models in their communities and societies. I thank Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad
Saheb for inviting me to this function today.

Speech of Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad, Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare
on the occasion of Presentation of National Florence Nightingale Awards to
meritorious Nursing Personnel at Vigyan Bhavan, Delhi on 12 May 2010
His Excellency, Shri M. Hamid Ansari, Hon’ble Vice President of India, honourable guests, awardees and my colleagues from the
Ministry.
While I welcome you all to this pious occasion of honouring the distinguished nursing personnel who have been performing their
duties with devotion and conviction, I convey my sincere thanks and gratitude to His Excellency, Hon’ble Vice President for having
spared time from his busy
schedule. It is a matter of pride that we have among us, here today, persons from the nursing community who have followed the path set by the
pioneer of the profession, Florence Nightingale. She was born on 12 May 1820 and this year happens to be the 190th year of her birth. The world
remembers her services over all these year and commemorates her birthday as the International Nurses Day. As everyone else, I also recognise
the nursing profession as pious and noble profession which serves the humanity when it is needed the most. I congratulate the winners of the
awards today and convey the gratitude of the nation for having served the countrymen selflessly in the best traditions of nursing.
While you all have been working hard to serve the countrymen with best of your abilities, we in the Government have also been working to improve
the over-all health scenario, especially improve availability of nursing personnel, create opportunities to upgrade their skills and acquiring higher
degrees, namely, M.Sc.(Nursing) by the undergraduate students as well as nursing personnel who are already working in hospitals/nursing
homes. In fact, only a few days back my Ministry has invited nominations from the States for higher education of nursing personnel working in the
government sector.
Though there are ANM/GNM schools, and colleges conducting certificate, diploma B.Sc./M.Sc. degree courses in Nursing across the country,
still there is shortage of nursing personnel and the nursing population remains at 1:1100, and the nurse doctor ratio is 1:1.5 which is low
compared to many of the nations of the world. There are about 4,300 nursing schools/colleges with an annual intake of about 1,70,000, out of
which around 63,000 seats are of B.Sc. level and around 4300 seats are of M.Sc. level. These are highly impressive figures. However, in order to
upgrade our nursing skills and improve the overall availability of nursing personnel, we need to do more, and let me assure you we are doing more.
The budget allocations have been increased tremendously. During 11th Plan we have made a total provision of Rs.3180 crore against 10th Plan
provision of Rs.78 crore. Out of 11th Plan provision of Rs.3180 crore Rs.280 crore are meant for the ongoing schemes, and a whopping sum of
Rs.2900 crores is meant for new schemes to be taken up during the 11th Plan.
There are around 10.35 lakh nurses registered with the Nursing Council at present of which it is hoped that around 40 percent would be in active
PDFmyURL.com
service in India, thus around 4.00 lakh nurses are available to country at the present. Based on estimates made by different agencies, around
9.55 lakh more nurses are required at the present rates. In order to meet the shortage of nurses and bring the availability of nursing personnel at
par with the developed countries where the nurse doctor ratio is 3:1, compared to 1:1.5, we have taken major initiatives over the past one year,
one such initiative being introduction of a new scheme for upgrdation and strengthening of nursing services. The scheme envisages:
Opening of 132 ANM schools at an estimated cost of Rs.5.00 crores per school.
Establishment of 137 GNM Schools at an estimated cost of Rs.10.00 crore per school. Care will be taken to open schools in 230 districts,
where there are no such schools at present.
14 State Nursing Councils are being strengthened at estimated cost of Rs. 1.00 crore per council.
14 Nursing Cells in Directorate of Health Services in the States are being strengthened at an estimated cost of Rs.1.00 crore per State.
6 more Nursing Colleges are being opened at estimated cost of Rs. 20.00 crore per college.
In addition, there is a faculty development programme, that would ease the strained availability position of faculty. Not only are we providing funds
for opening of new nursing schools/colleges, we are also facilitating their opening in many other ways. For example, we have relaxed the student
patient ratio from 1:5 to 1:3, adopted a pragmatic approach in respect of faculty requirements and the qualifications and experience norms and
the upper age limit of faculty has also been relaxed. Similarly, super speciality hospitals have been allowed to start M.Sc. programmes without
insisting on having graduate programs; married females have been allowed admission in nursing course. Similarly, 100 nursing seats would be
allowed to parent hospitals without insisting on a medial college. I would also like to mention in brief the great strides that have been made under
the National Rural Health Mission which not only aims at providing accessible and affordable health services to the common man but has also
opened opportunities for the health providers from specialists and doctors to other equally important, if not more, health professionals like nurses.
I take this opportunity to appeal to all present here to take this message among the colleagues to encourage the nursing personnel also to join
the team working in rural areas, where the real India lives, as was said by the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi ji. Before I conclude, I once
again congratulate the awardees for their marvellous fete and advise the nursing community to emulate the model set by these gem of persons.
Thank you.

Last Inside Cover – NJI One Hundred Years Ago
In an endeavour to give readers the feel of how NJI looked like hundred years ago, we are reproducing editorial of July 1910 issue. Such
excerpts would be published each month.
“WHEN FOUND, MAKE A NOTE OF”
WARMING AN OPERATION BED.
After a long and serious operation it is very important that the patient should be put into a really warm bed. To ensure this is an easy matter
where a large dressing sterilizer is at hand. Dressings are usually sterilized the day before the operations, so that as a rule the sterilizer is not
in use on the day of operation. Two pairs of blankets can be put into the sterilizer, which should can be left there until the patient is ready to be
taken off from the table, when one pair ought to be spread under and the other over the patient. It is surprising how hot blankets can be made
in this way, and how long they retain the heat, especially if a cotton quilt is put on the top. It is much more satisfactory than hot bottles, as
every part of the body gets the warmth, and there is o danger of burning the patient.
SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR CONSTIPATION IN LITTLE CHILDREN
The cause of the difficulty should be sought and removed, and laxative drugs be kept as a last resource. As an increase of the fat in the food is
often needed a larger proportion of cream can be added to the bottle, or, in the case of breast-fed babies, be fed from a spoon. A teaspoonful
or less of olive oil given once a day is harmless and often effectual. Daily massage of the abdomen is an excellent remedy, practiced just
before the hour at which an evacuation is desired. The palm of the hand should be applied with gentle pressure just above the right groin, and
be carried in a horseshoe-shaped curve up to the edge of the ribs, across to the left side, and down toward the left groin, thus following the
course of the large intestine and propelling its contents toward the opening. The hand should be warm, a little sweet oil or Vaseline should be
used, and the massage should last about ten minutes.
In children over one year of age a little stewed fruit or a baked apple may be tried carefully. Strained stewed-prune juice is often excellent. The
juice of an orange is frequently very serviceable, and a little may sometimes be given with advantage even to a younger baby. In still older
children the diet should contain plenty of fluid and of foods that are somewhat laxative.
For the immediate unloading of the bowel one of the simplest and least harmful methods is the giving of one or more enemata of warm water

containing salt in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint. Soapy water may be used instead if something stronger is needed. For young
babies one or two ounces is sufficient, and for those of two years two or three times this amount. For emptying the bowel a soap stick is also
serviceable in many instances. It consists of a smooth conical stick of firm Castile soap, two or more inches long, half and inch thick at the
base, and tapering toward the other end to the thinness of a bout one-quarter of an inch. It should be greased with Vaseline before using it,
inserted part way into the bowel, and held thee until a tendency to an evacuation shows itself.

Last Inside Cover- Appeal for Funds for a Health(y) Cause
Day Care Centre of Elderly Care Home Academic Block

Dear Friends,
We have been regularly apprising all of you through NJI, about the progress in the coming up of the twin institutions, viz. (i) Central
Institute of Nursing and Research (CIN), and (ii) Elderly Care Home (ECH).
As of now, the basic foundation structure of 3 of the 6 structures of the twin facilities has been laid; the next is, setting of fixtures.
These include, fixing of doors, windows and tiles in the total built up area of 1,60,000 sq ft. Each stage of progression gives all of
us a sense of gratification, as it marks inching ahead towards fulfillment of the historic initiative of TNAI for setting up of the state-
of-art nursing institution and the elderly care home
(in Knowledge Park-III, Greater Noida, close to Delhi). With sound backing of the TNAI
professionalism and expertise, the CIN would have excellent faculty to provide quality nursing
education for the upcoming care-givers of the country. The ECH would provide ideal ambience to
the senior citizens to meet their distinct needs so that they can lead a care-free, relaxed life.
I personally acknowledge with gratitude, the full-hearted support lent by you, from the conception
stage of the twin-facility, and the results are for everyone to see (refer the pictures on this page).
We are proud to inform you three of the six basic structures have already been completed.

However, with the work still ongoing, we look forward to the generous donors like you to continue
providing support for this noble endeavour. I reiterate at this juncture, my dear friends, that TNAI
is a non-profit, philanthropic organisation, and does not undertake any commercial activity. It
depends solely on the membership contribution and donations from wellwishing individuals and
organisations. We don’t have any regular in-flow of funds to meet the expenses for executing the
projects. Giving shape to such big projects is possible only with help from like-minded
individuals, corporates and bodies.

We therefore avidly look forward to continued financial help from you, in your individual capacity in particular and from the nursing
community in general. My appeal to each of you – kindly donate generously towards the cost of construction of windows/ doors or
tiles (which costs Rs. 1250 per sq ft), in your or in your spouse’s or family member or near & dear one’s name or in organisation’s
name. We solicit monetary contributions from you in multiples of Rs. 1250, which shall be acknowledged, apart from sense of
having made sterling contribution for a noble cause.
I believe, you shall respond affirmatively to this appeal and also convince others to follow suit by donating for this noble cause. The
remittances in the form of cheque/ demand draft should be sent to: The Trained Nurses Association of India, L-17, Florence
Nightingale Lane, Green Park Main, NEW DELHI - 110 016.
Note: Donations to TNAI are exempt from Income Tax under section 80G of Income Tax Act.

Secretary General
