Human resources are vital to an effective health care system [1]. From an economics viewpoint, health workers’ salaries make up a great share of health budgets in most countries [1]. The health worker is the gatekeeper of the health system.
In the workplace, motivation can be defined as an “individual’s degree of willingness to exert and maintain an effort towards organizational goals”[2]. Motivation is closely linked to job satisfaction, which retains workers at their jobs over time [3]. Health worker retention reduces costs to the health system of having to recruit, hire, and orient new workers and also reduces the likelihood of vacant posts [4]. As many countries currently experience a shortage of qualified health workers [5], the loss of any health worker—especially doctors and nurses—has serious ramifications for the health of people in that country [6]. Keeping health workers satisfied and motivated helps the entire health system work smoothly
Importance of Health
Cells are the fundamental units of all living organisms. They are made up of a variety of chemical substances. Cells move from place to place. Even if the cell is not moving, a lot of repairing still goes on within it. Besides this, there are various specialized activities in our body, like the heart pumps blood, the kidney filters the urine, the brain is constantly thinking, the lungs help in breathing.
This way, there is a lot of interconnectedness between the various organs in our body. For all these activities, our body needs energy and raw material. Food is necessary for cell and tissue functioning. Therefore, if you are not well, all your bodily activities start getting hampered.
