At this year’s international women’s day, let’s put a spotlight on three women in #healthcare whose contributions have paved the way for future generations of #female healthcare professionals: 🪔“The Lady with the Lamp”—𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗲: Known as the founder of modern #nursing, she established the first scientifically based nursing school—the Nightingale School of Nursing, in London in 1860. Her efforts to reform healthcare greatly improved the quality of care in the 19th and 20th centuries. 💊𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝗳𝗳: She was the first female student at the TH Karlsruhe and the first woman to become a formally educated pharmacist in Germany. She completed her exam with distinction. 👩⚕️𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹: The British and American physician was one of the first women to earn a medical degree. She also played a significant role in promoting education for women in medicine. As we honor the progress made, let’s also acknowledge that there’s still a journey ahead. Let’s support one another on the journey to equality. Let’s lead change for women. #InternationalerWomensDay
