NURSING’S ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEDICAL CARE SYSTEM

The functionality and role of nurses in terms of properly caring for patients has expanded in response to the progressive development of medical science and the introduction of innovative technologies into the healthcare system. At present, a pilot project is being successfully implemented to transfer certain functions of doctors to nurses for conducting medical examinations among the public, preventing non-communicable diseases, and promoting a healthy lifestyle. However, in order to effectively transform nursing activities, it is crucial to develop professional associations and non-formal education, establish youth councils among specialists with secondary medical educations, and create a talent pool of nursing service managers, given the shortage and high workload of nurses, the need for greater public recognition, and the insufficient use of modern technologies.
