Celebrating our Nurses, One Gerbera at a Time

More than 20 Rotary Clubs across Singapore came together to honor over 2,000 dedicated nurses with a simple yet meaningful gesture — a stalk of Gerbera, symbolizing appreciation and gratitude for their tireless service.

The celebrations began on 24 July, with Rotarians visiting healthcare institutions including:

  • Institute of Mental Health
  • Khoo Teck Puat Hospital
  • SingHealth Academia Building
  • National Neuroscience Institute
  • Tan Tock Seng Hospital
  • Changi General Hospital
  • National Cancer Centre
  • Ng Teng Fong General Hospital

Participating Rotary Clubs included:

  • RC Marina City
  • RC Pandan Valley
  • RC Singapore
  • RC E-Club of 3310
  • RC Heartlands

Our club was proudly represented by Lye Wah, Soma, Joshua, Christopher, Priya, Dr. Wai Mun, Gladys, Sabine, Mary, and President Edward, who helped distribute Gerberas and spread smiles across hospitals islandwide.

Club member Syed shared:
“Congratulations President Edward, Lye Wah, and the many other RCMC members who made Nurses’ Day truly memorable!”

Did You Know?
Nurses’ Week was first launched in Singapore in May 1965 to celebrate nursing graduates, with blood donation drives, charity events, and concerts. In 1985, it was renamed Nurses’ Day and is now officially celebrated on 1 August each year — a heartfelt recognition of the vital role nurses play in our healthcare system.
