| Executive Officer Edmund Ho praised KWNC in his address for her inheriting and developing the long history of the Kiang Wu Nursing and Midwifery School to cultivate nursing talents for the cause of health in Macau for years and years. Nowadays in the modernized society, the nursing staff who had been sparing no efforts to undertake various medical work under high pressure and devoting themselves to patient care were most admirable. The Macau SAR had faced the challenges of Avian Flu, SARS and A/HINI Flu in sequence these years, therefore we should not neglect any of our nursing work that means a lot to infection control and prevention, said he. The government would keep strengthening and supporting the relevant training and mechanism in nursing so as to enhance the nursing skills for epidemic diseases.
