Recovery at work for medical doctors

Recovery at work for medical doctors is vital to sustaining performance, compassion, and long-term career satisfaction—especially within the demanding healthcare systems of Sub-Saharan Africa. Continuous exposure to long shifts, emotional stress, and high patient volumes can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. Effective recovery strategies—such as structured rest breaks, supportive work environments, mental health check-ins, and wellness programs—help restore energy, improve focus, and reduce burnout. Promoting recovery at work ensures healthier doctors, better decision-making, and ultimately improved patient outcomes across the region.
