My dear students,
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you all,
It gives me great pleasure and honor to welcome you to the Department of Maternity and Pediatric Nursing, one of the most vital departments in the College of Nursing, due to its essential role in providing healthcare for women and children — two of the groups most in need of care and attention.
Your specialization in this field is not just about theoretical study or practical application; it is a noble humanitarian mission that requires dedication, compassion, and a strong commitment to acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to deliver safe and comprehensive care.
In the department, we are committed to providing a motivating educational environment that supports you both academically and professionally, through modern curricula, hands-on training, and direct supervision by qualified female faculty members.
Saudi Vision 2030 emphasizes the importance of empowering women and developing the healthcare sector. Maternity and child health nursing is a cornerstone in realizing this vision by preparing distinguished national cadres capable of delivering high-quality healthcare services to mothers and children.
My dear daughters,
You are the foundation of positive change in society. In your hands lies the future of generations blessed with better health and more compassionate care. I encourage you to remain diligent, embrace responsibility, and make the most of every learning opportunity you receive.
I ask Allah to grant you success in your academic and professional journey and to make you among the distinguished women serving this great nation.
Peace and blessings be upon you all.
