In Nepal, the distressing surge in violence against healthcare professionals has plunged us into a pressing crisis that demands our undivided attention. Within the walls of healthcare facilities, from inpatient wards to emergency departments, incidents of workplace violence have spiked alarmingly, leaving our dedicated healthcare workers exposed to the harsh realities of verbal abuse and physical aggression. This vulnerability not only fuels burnout among our medical staff but also chips away at their sense of security, eroding the very foundation of our healthcare system.
