Abstract

Since time immemorial, it has been embedded in the minds and hearts of healthcare providers to always prioritise the needs of their patients. From the excitement of the first day of medical school to the nerves of the first day in the hospital as medical staff, we are taught to care for others, oftentimes at the expense of our own well-being. While some of us manage to balance work and personal lives, too many healthcare providers end up dealing with the consequences of overlooking their own needs and eventually develop a redundant outlook to their work which is at odds with this sensitive profession. This is where spiritual wellbeing makes its entrance. Spirituality, in its truest essence, aims to attach “meaning” to everything we do. In simple terms, it helps us discover a purpose in life, which becomes the basic foundation from which healthcare providers then navigate this precious field of serving humanity. It forms the groundwork for resilience, which is an imperative part of medicine.
