Patient Safety #2: Safe Staff, Safe Patients

In the second episode of the mini-series on patient safety, we take a deeper dive into the inextricable link between the health workforce and patient safety. Together with Dr Melvyn Chin, Associate Director, ECRI Asia-Pacific and Dr Timothy Cheng, Chairman of MMA SCHOMOS, we explore how burnout, poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of support for healthcare workers put patients at risk.
