No fewer than 345 incidents of violence against Nigerian doctors were reported in 2022, The PUNCH reports. This is according to the report on “Workplace Violence against Doctors” obtained exclusively by The PUNCH from the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors. According to the report, 74 per cent of the attacks required medical attention, and 15 per cent were life-threatening. Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behaviour that occurs at the work site. When you have one doctor doing the work of 100 doctors, you will not be able to give your best, and patients will put frustration on you.
