Treating a patient as a person improves #PatientCare β€οΈ

On this first-ever International Day Of Care & Support, WHO celebrates all caregivers - especially women, who make up 67% of all health & care workers & perform 76% of unpaid care.
Letβs promote holistic care, pay attention to patients & prioritize caregiver wellbeing! πͺβ€οΈ
βHorrific violence has been wreaked over the last 10 days. The situation today in Gaza is catastrophicβ¦ Basic humanity needs to be restored in #Gaza.β
@DrChristou sends a message on the Gaza-Israel war.
There is a #humanitariancrisis in #Palestine
The blockade on food, water, meds, fuel electricity alongside the increased violence during this recent escalation is leading to innocent women, children and the elderly dying.
We must not be silent.
