War in #Ukraine is isolating doctors from one another, leading to burnout and self-doubt. Many physicians are working under immense pressure, cut off from colleagues they could lean on for support. This has had negative impacts on their mental health – and on patients.
US firm Northwell Health has developed a countrywide #telehealth system that helps to bridge these gaps. It enables #doctors to connect with fellow specialists at Northwell, so they don’t feel they need to take crucial medical decisions in isolation. It also offers free counselling, workshops and an emotional-support hotline. Here, Northwell Health Vice-President Eric Cioè-Peña explains how it works – and how the benefits are being felt on the front lines, too.
The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. It provides a global, impartial and not-for-profit platform for meaningful connection between stakeholders to establish trust, and build initiatives for cooperation and progress.
