Her post was written with a spirited tone to share the plight of the frontliners. Chong mused that after joining the task force as a volunteer, she now understood how exhausting their work is and how each extra pair of hands would really make a difference – as it gives the frontliners more time to rest and recharge for their duties.
Chong shared that aside from medical volunteers, the frontliners also need a lot of manpower to help out with admin tasks such as registering, ushering and coordinating patients, data entry, and the like.
While these tasks sound menial and tedious, Chong emphasised how this was all the more reason to take them off medical frontliners’ plates, so that they can focus on more pressing worries at hand.
