RUMED 365 - for doctors in rural areas
and ongoing support for physicians, regardless of their employment status.
Professional growth is difficult, and despite communication challenges, they struggle to find a safe social framework for sharing concerns and emotions, which endangers their mental health.
They are also expected to act as social workers, counselors, and community authorities. Their families share the burden of limited opportunities.
The Wittenberg Declaration confirms our direction – giving it a broader framework and renewed momentum.
