Did you know? A 2022 report by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealed that up to 95% of nurses in Pakistan have faced workplace violence at least once in their careers. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for change.
FOSPAH is committed to eradicating workplace harassment through education, awareness, and enforcement. Yesterday, we conducted an awareness session at the Federal General Hospital, where Assistant Registrar Mr. Waqar Ahmed explained what constitutes workplace harassment, the penalties for it, and how hospitals can foster a safe and respectful working environment. Our mission is clear: to hold awareness sessions in every hospital and medical university across Pakistan, ensuring that healthcare workers have the tools and knowledge to stand against harassment and violence.
