In his address, the Union Minister stated that the Ministry of Health prioritizes public health, longevity, and disease prevention, emphasizing that the role of nurses is of vital importance.

Since nursing care involves direct and initial contact with the public, he urged them to carry out their foundational nursing duties with genuine goodwill.

Subsequently, the Union Minister presented appointment letters, routing them through two nursing representatives for a total of 462 Bachelor of Nursing Science graduates from the University of Nursing (Yangon) and the University of Nursing (Mandalay). A newly graduated nurse from the University of Nursing (Yangon) then delivered words of thanks.
