Community nursing – big impact

Linda Rollins of Nelson BC recently returned from teaching Community Health Nursing at IUBAT. Although this is her specialty in Canada, Linda says that she found the situation there quite different. “Community nursing in Bangladesh faces so many challenges from poor sanitation, food safety and environmental conditions. At the same time, chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease are becoming more common. There are great opportunities for the IUBAT graduates to make a big difference in the lives of ordinary people. It was very fulfilling to know that my effort has such an important potential impact.”
