Aruna-Shanbaug

It is nothing short of a miracle or the pinnacle of sacrifice and dedication. Three generations of nurses in KEM Hospital Mumbai kept their almost unconscious colleague Aruna Shaunbag alive for long 42 years , after a brutal  assault on her by a Hospital Ward Boy  on 27th November 1973. She died on 18th May 2015, mourned by not only the staff of KEM Hospital, but the entire humanity.

I salute the nursing community, who have once again shown that they are the real inheritors of the ‘Lady of the Lamp’.
