  • Post Pandemic Challenges Healthcare Professionals Face

    Even before the pandemic, healthcare professionals face numerous challenges trying to thrive in the industry . These challenges were made even worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent lifting of the global emergency response seemingly eased some of the challenges. Several colleagues though, hinted burgeoning new challenges of the post pandemic healthcare. Burnout and mental health problems among many healthcare professionals is at its all time high.

    As a practicing physician, healthcare administrator and educator, I felt we emerged in a post pandemic world far from what exists before. It’s even more difficult to survive (let alone thrive) now in healthcare than before! I wanted to know what my colleagues have to say about these challenges and how they are coping to such challenges. This is the topic of our #HealthXPh chat this Saturday, August 12, 2023 9PM Manila time.

    Here’s our guide questions:

  • Doing Something Different in 2023.

    This topic was inspired by a chat topic at the healthcare leadership blog.

    January has been traditionally a new year resolutions month even for #Healthxph. In the last 2 pandemic new year, I only made one new year resolution and that is to survive the pandemic. Given my sorry batting average for achieving new year resolutions, this one has been so far the hardest and yet, here I am entering 2023, alive. I am grateful to a lot of people for that.

    This year, I want to do something different though. We’re slowly emerging into the new post pandemic normal and I realized some of my “pandemic” habits probably won’t be applicable in 2023. At work for example, I find “mixing” my multiple online activities with face to face tasks really tiring. Like 24 hours isn’t enough! So maybe there’s something I need to do differently this year. This will be the topic of the #Healthxph chat this Saturday Jan 14, 2023 9:00 PM Manila time.
