Occupational burnout, fatigue and stigma must not make health workers mistreat their parents cautioned Dr Veronica Griffith, Deputy Director of Regional and Clinical Services (RHS), according to a statement from the Ministry of Public Health.
Speaking at yesterday’s one-day symposium for Regional Health and Executive Officers (RHOs and REOs) and top Municipal officials, Dr Griffith said despite currently working under increasing pressure because of global COVID-19 outbreak, local health workers must “treat patients with respect, compassion and dignity (and) maintain patient confidentiality.”
The seminar organised by the Ministry of Public Health was held to help sharpen the understanding and response capabilities of RHOs, REOs and heads of Municipalities to the coronavirus sweeping the globe.
