IFNA

Today, on International Nurses Day 2026, the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists proudly celebrates nurses around the world for their compassion, expertise, resilience, and unwavering dedication to patient care.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all nurse anesthetists and nurses whose knowledge and commitment make a difference every single day — in operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency departments, and communities worldwide.

Your care saves lives. Your courage inspires. Your profession strengthens healthcare systems across the globe.

Happy International Nurses Day!
