Not every body work because of money, therefore getting a few months bonuses is not the criteria for them to want to stay in the health care industry...It is backbreaking work, with so many infections and deaths going on.

Too heartbreaking to see many helpless people die of covid everyday. 

This kind of cruel jobs fit PaP Mimisters the best!

[debono]

For some, it is that they work as a  national service to the republic.  Also some work because of the power and fame....

Could be the heavy work stress and the occupational risks involved and other reasons too?

Yes, you are right, with this pandemic, there is a heavy work load, and also they are exposed to occupational hazards....

When we have 5,000 infected, it is much stress to doctors and nurses....

I have a neighour who is 68 years old, contacted Covid-19, went to hospital, but  because there is shortage of beds, was asked to stay home to recover, after 3 days he uplorry, this is  a true story.

It proves Sg is not prepare for endemic scenario.
Vaccine alone is not sufficient.

To find ways to make them safer is most important.
They experience physical and mental stress that is incredible high.

Easy to get replacements with foreigners in health care sector.

[debono]

There are  many retrenched and unemployed people here, some in the early forty and late thirty, it is good that our garment make it a point to allow these group of workers switch jobs mid stream, and go into nursing, where we have lots of vacancies...
