COVID-19 healthcare workers struggling with burnout and fatigue

2021-07-16 09:40  |  Health & WelfareA public petition was uploaded on the Cheong Wa Dae website, June 29, calling on the government to improve working conditions for medical workers at public health centers.
The petitioner, who claimed to be a former nurse at a public health center in Busan, wrote, "Nurses have been suffering from excessive workloads since the COVID-19 outbreak, and things have worsened since the vaccine rollout."
Public health centers have had to deal with numerous complaints from citizens about the lack of vaccines, a chaotic reservation process and reports of side effects, according to the petition.
"The government has repeatedly said that it would actively discuss measures needed to increase public health center nursing staff, to prevent the recurrence of the tragic case in Busan, but no follow-up measures have been announced yet," said the petitioner, urging the government to address the issue appropriately.
