The Nursing CareEx (NURSING CAREX) exhibition and scientific seminar, organized in collaboration with the Nursing Organization of Islamic Republic of Iran and Saba Nik Fater Company, will be held from November 5 to 8 at Tehran’s Olympic Hotel, coinciding with Nurses’ Week, IRNA wrote.
Highlighting the significance of the event, Ahmad Nejatian, Head of the Nursing Organization of Islamic Republic of Iran, said, “This exhibition will be the first of its kind in Iran and the Middle East, showcasing the economic power of nursing and the importance of the equipment nurses use to serve the public.”
Emphasizing the changing landscape of healthcare, Nejatian added, “The focus on in-home care underscores the growing importance of this sector. With the aging population and the shift in disease patterns, home care will soon rival hospitals in terms of patient volume and services provided.”
The exhibition aims to elevate the status of nurses and expand the scope of nursing services in Iran. It will also showcase the latest innovations in nursing care equipment and provide a platform for knowledge exchange through scientific programs and seminars.
Hessam Goudarzi, CEO of Saba Nik Fater Company, emphasized the economic and cultural impact of the nursing profession, stating, “There are 300,000 nurses in Iran, and their role during the COVID-19 pandemic brought their contributions to the forefront. With the growing emphasis on home care and an aging population, new markets for nursing services are emerging, shaping the future of the healthcare market.”
The exhibition will bring together companies specializing in various nursing equipment groups, creating a dedicated platform to showcase their capabilities and connect with both domestic and international attendees.
Manouchehr Jamali, Secretary of the Policy Council of the first exhibition, emphasized the potential for nursing to gain more ground in the future regarding job opportunities, income, and reputation.
He stressed the need to enhance the quality of nursing services to elevate the profession’s prestige.
The event also aims to foster collaboration between the nursing community and the Nursing Organization, ultimately elevating nurses to their rightful position in society.
Qassem Sadeghi, a member of the Policy Council of the first NURSING CAREX in Iran, emphasized the importance of teamwork in the healthcare sector.
He believes that the exhibition and its accompanying scientific events will strengthen teamwork among healthcare personnel while providing valuable updates for nurses through seminars and scientific programs.
