We’re talking about burnout in healthcare, not just the long hours and exhaustion we always hear, but the deeper layers that often go unnoticed. And more importantly, how resilience can move from being a crisis response to something that’s genuinely built into the culture.
To help us explore this, I’m joined by someone who’s been closely involved in understanding these challenges and supporting those on the front lines — Dr. Amit Singh, Chief Human Resources Officer, CARE Hospitals
