Medical and health minister Kalicharan Saraf said that the nursing is a noble profession and nurses play a very important role in the course of treatment of patients. He was speaking on the occasion of International Nursing Day at a state-level programme organised by Rajasthan Nursing Council in Maharana Pratap auditorium in Jaipur, where he was present as the chief guest.

Nursing professionals and students from different hospitals and nursing colleges across the state were present at the programme. Saraf said that nurses are a bridge between the patient and the doctor. He also admitted that medical facility in the state is struggling with the scarcity of nursing staff, towards which the government is making efforts.
