I had the privilege of being cared for by Nurse Nayana during my Chemotherapy sessions at Al Zahra Hospital, Dubai. I have completed 12 rounds of an adjuvant aggressive regimen throughout this difficult journey at the age of 64. Nurse Nayana was a steady source of comfort, compassion, and competence. She displayed remarkable professionalism and confidence. She answered all my questions with clarity and patience, putting me and my family at ease.

What truly stood out was her genuine care. Her positive attitude and gentle encouragement gave me strength. Even when the world was busy. She never made me feel rushed or overlooked as a patient. She treated the family with unwavering empathy.

Nurse Nayana is not only an outstanding nurse professionally but an inspiring woman personally. Despite her responsibilities as a mother of 2 young children, she showed up for every round with the same warmth and positivity. Her ability to go above and beyond for her patients while quietly handling her own personal difficulties with such grace and strength is truly admirable.

Nurse Nayana embodies everything an extraordinary nurse should be. Her clinical skills are exceptional. But it’s her patience and humanity that make her truly special. I am deeply grateful to the doctors and to her for the role she played in my healing journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for the DAISY Award.
