Did you know that a hospital is one of the most hazardous places to work? In 2019, U.S. hospitals recorded 221,400 work-related injuries and illnesses, a rate of 5.5 work-related injuries and illnesses for every 100 full-time employees. This is almost twice the rate for private industry as a whole and it’s the same position in india.

Although the Health Care Workers or hospital workers is at the forefront in the battle of COVID-19 pandemic, they are facing several challenges in delivering their duties.
Abhijeet Rane said, Long working hours is becoming apparent from the reports across the world that the long duty hours of the all Hospital Kamgar is a major risk factor for them to acquire infection and hence it is mandatory they work in shorter shifts, based on a strict rotation.
It is highly disturbing and demoralizing to see the Hospital Kamgar on duty are facing violence against them from some irresponsible public, within the hospitals and in the community surveillance work. It damages and dampen the work of hospital kamgar and may ultimately affect the health care of the public.
Indeed Medicine is a humanitarian profession, and the hospital workers have a duty to care for the sick. By willingly entering into this profession, they have implicitly agreed to accept the risks involved in it. However, they need to balance their obligations as professionals with their duties to their family members too.
