Nurses in Murang'a County marked Nurses and Midwives Week 2025 by educating pupils at Kagaa Primary School on health and well-being.
Speaking at the event held at Kagaa Primary School in Kimorori Wempa Ward, Murang'a County Nursing Officer Salome Kimani said the outreach was part of the county's efforts to celebrate the annual week in honour of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
Kimani explained that Nurses and Midwives Week provides an opportunity for nurses to reflect on their professional milestones and intensify their community service efforts. "As nurses, we serve at the community level starting from level two facilities to levels three, four, and five hospitals," she said. "This week, as we celebrate Nurses Week, we are taking health services closer to the people," She added.
At Kagaa Primary, the nurses focused on educating learners about personal health, menstrual hygiene, gender-based violence and drug and substance abuse.
