The Lebanese Order of Nurses won the NNA Innovation Award for 2017 granted by the International Council of Nurses Congress held last May in Barcelona-Spain. The Order’s president, Nuhad Yazbek, who received the prize on behalf of the Order said that it reflects the efficiency, commitment and efforts by nurses to achieve their desired goals, notwithstanding the persistent challenges they face. This is an award for each and every Lebanese male and female nurse, Yazbek boasted. To note, the Order of Nurses has won the award for its distinguished activities demonstrated in so-called ‘an encounter in each caza: participate, examine, know’ campaign launched from April till July 2016, during which it toured various districts and regions across Lebanon. The men and women nurses spent a health day with local residents, extending health-related instructions and conducting free tests, as well as, raising awareness on numerous diseases and organizing family recreational events related to health issues.
