She stressed that implementing these laws contributes to protecting the profession and raising its professional level.
In a related context, she touched on the reality of home nursing care between the present and the future and revealed the existence of a law proposal in this regard that is still being followed up in the relevant committees and stressed the importance of regulating this sector to ensure the quality of care provided in homes.
