She dedicated her life to saving others

Olga Kanitsaki. The resilient Greek woman born in 1940 in a small, emerald-green village in Chania, Crete. The courageous immigrant who left her homeland for a continent where women had greater access to education and opportunities. The dynamic nurse who rose to become a hospital director, earning her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees while fighting tirelessly in Australia and globally for the necessity of personalised patient care, who fought for the rights of every culture to equitable healthcare. A person who dedicated her life to saving others.
