CRH Nursing Excellence Awards: Rewarding Professional Excellence in Nursing 
Practice
- Stella Iwuagwu
*******************

CRH with support from the Ford Foundation Office for West Africa announces 
the first award ceremonies to reward professional excellence in the nursing 
practice.

The Centre for the Right to Health (CRH) is a non- profit, non- religious, 
non-governmental organization founded in 1999, dedicated to research, 
training and advocacy for the realization of the right to health in Nigeria, 
especially for vulnerable groups such as women, children, youths and people 
living with HIV/AIDS. CRH mobilizes the efforts of a wide range of 
stakeholders in its bid to actualize the right to health in Nigeria.

Call for nomination
Nurses in Nigeria are faced with multi faceted challenges at work which has 
caused many of them to seek greener pastures outside the shores of the 
country. Yet many more persevered to be the bedrock of our healthcare 
system. They devoted their time and energies pursuing the wellbeing of their 
patients and improvement of the work environment. We cannot pretend not to 
notice them; they need to be encouraged and motivated to do more. We 
therefore request you to nominate Nurses from Imo State and The Federal 
Capital Territory and its environs that are extra ordinary in the discharge 
of their ordinary duties for a merit award of professional excellence.

How to nominate
Nominations must carry full names and work details of nominees which should 
contain a short testimony or reference letter detailing the special deeds or 
conducts that marks the nominee out for honour. Full names, addresses and 
phone numbers or contact details of the one nominating are required. 
Nominations are open until close of work on 16th February 2007.

Selection Panel
Inter disciplinary team of professionals will examine the nominations and 
objectively select the awardees.

Selected Nominees
Selected nominees will be honoured in two separate award ceremonies holding 
in Abuja and Owerri respectively in April 2007 as we celebrate the World 
Health Day.  We have done a great deal of work with health professionals in 
Imo State and Abuja and want to encourage them become advocates of health 
rights as well as keep the spirit of nursing alive and healthy.
