International Day of Care 2023
Today's International Nurses Day is dedicated to the approximately 28 million people who currently work in the nursing profession worldwide. In English-speaking countries, it is also known as International Nurses Day and commemorates the British nurse Florence Nightingale, who is considered a pioneer of modern Western nursing.
In addition to the great work that nursing staff do every day in hospitals, there is another group of people who regularly go above and beyond - family caregivers. After all, around 80 percent of the 4.1 million people in need of care in Germany are cared for at home.
Committed to our mission "We protect lives worldwide", schülke actively contributes to the safety and health protection of people with its strategic business areas Healthcare, Over the Counter (OTC), Life Sciences and Direct Patient Care.
In order to make life and care easier for people in need of care, but also for their caring relatives and outpatient care staff, we offer the PFLEGEBOX in the Direct Patient Care division with our subsidiary proSenio.
With the PFLEGEBOX, people in need of care or their relatives can have a box of care aids delivered to them every month. Depending on requirements, the box contains care aids such as disinfectants, disposable gloves, face masks, bed protection inserts or protective aprons that are not subject to co-payment. The costs can be reimbursed by the care insurance fund.
Many family carers are often not care professionals and need support. PFLEGEBOX therefore offers helpful information on its website for anyone interested in the topic of care.
Many questions about entitlements, care services and the practice of home care are made as easy to understand as possible.
Our aim with the PFLEGEBOX from proSenio and our range of information on the subject of home care is to make everyday care easier for people and to support all those affected.
