Conclusion
Occupational safety and health should not be sidelined as a service delivery issue. Health worker health and well-being is an important aspect of workers’ motivation and job satisfaction, which influence productivity as well as retention. Health worker safety also affects the quality of care; caring for the caregiver should be a priority area of concern for the health system’s performance. What is good for employee health is good for patient health. Multistakeholder initiatives that include global principles, national policy advocacy, and the involvement of professional councils, schools, and health facilities can facilitate OSH risk reduction measures and fill the gaps. The PPE Campaign represents an important approach to bringing occupational safety and health policies to practice, ensuring the well-being of the health sector’s most important resource and in turn that of the patients and populations they serve, thus helping to transform the health system at large.
