Abstract

Healthcare workers face significant risks of job-related violence. Sustainable solutions for preventing violence against health care providers remain tough to find and difficult to implement. Violence causes immediate and often long-term disruption to interpersonal relationships, the organization of work and the overall working environment. The negative consequences of such widespread violence impact heavily on the delivery of healthcare services, which could include deterioration in the quality of care provided. In developing countries particularly, equal access to primary health care will be threatened if health workers, already a scarce resource, abandon their profession because of the threat of violence. This in turn can result in a reduction in health services available to the general population, and an increase in health costs.
