The day commemorates the support provided by nurses in public health care.

Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Italy. Nightingale, who became superintendent of a women's hospital in London in 1853, led a team of nurses to serve wounded soldiers in Turkey during the Crimean War in 1854.

Nightingale, who published the book Notes on Nursing in 1859, also founded the world's first nursing training college. The International Council of Nurses, which recognizes Nightingale's services, has declared Nightingale's birthday as International Nurses' Day since 1965.
