Abstract
It could be claimed that nursing is one of the most challenging and remarkable
professions in the country. Maldivians value the humanitarian work of the nurses.
Nursing has existed in the Maldives ever since man first inhabited the islands.
However professional nursing or modern nursing was introduced in the early
nineteen sixties. Nursing education developed at a very rapid rate as compared to
education within other professions in the country. The vision of nursing/ midwifery is
to provide support and leadership towards the development of socially relevant,
sustainable, efficient and high quality health services to meet the health challenges
in the Maldives. The philosophy that underpins nursing practice in the Maldives is
derived from the culture and the religion along with finer points from philosophies of
nursing worldwide.
