Healthcare providers cannot consistently give what they do not have. Caring for oneself is part of becoming capable of caring for others sustainably.

According to Africa CDC, Africa bears more than a quarter of the global disease burden while accounting for only about 3% of the global health workforce. In a system carrying this burden, burnout isn’t a badge of honor. It is associated with increased patient-safety risks and medical errors, reduced job satisfaction and poor retention.
