The first meeting was about the increased threat of seizing the assets of nursing students who had taken educational loans.
Then, Beena Baby, a Malayalee nurse, committed suicide while working at a hospital in Mumbai due to staff bullying, illegal management practices and bond issues.
Ms Baby's death triggered a public outcry, leading to the formation of "UNA", along with many other nurse associations.
UNA gained awareness among nurses and society through social media.
Since then UNA had successfully scheduled and executed seven chartered flights from Riyad, Dammam and Jeddah.
