In response to the emerging COVID-19 wave in India, RCN President Professor Dame Anne Marie Rafferty, said:
"In the context of a global pandemic, no one is safe until everyone is safe. It is vital, now more than ever, that the international community must work collaboratively to develop global solutions to bring about a rapid end to the pandemic.
“The government's promise of life-saving equipment surplus to our needs is a good start but long term support is essential.
“We stand in solidarity with our nursing colleagues in India who are working tirelessly to provide lifesaving care to patients, their expertise is crucial to meet the enormous challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We know that many of our Indian members will be worried about loved ones at this time, and we are committed to supporting them and their families.”
