United Nurses Association (UNA), is a professional association of registered nurses in the state of Kerala in India. UNA acquired the trade union registration 08-06 of 2012 on 22/06/2012. United nurses association have no political stand. It was founded on November 2011 by a small group of nurses in Kerala with a professional registration.
A direct reason for the formation of this association is traced back to the death of Beena Baby, a Registered Nurse, who committed suicide due to staff bullying in private hospital and illegal management norms management. The so-called "bond system" executed by the Mumbai based hospital was an indirect violation against Bonded Labor System (Abolition) Act, 1976. However, nursing regulator in India the Indian Nursing Council could not effectively intervene in matters relating to Nurses in the Service sector as they were not legally equipped by law to do so. Ms Baby's death triggered a public outcry resulting in a strike by 250 nurses. This outrage led to formation of many nursing associations.
