To sum it up, establishing specialized mental health and well-being support for healthcare professionals aims to alleviate staffing shortages, foster a compassionate work environment, and, in turn, play a pivotal role in the overall recovery of the healthcare system. Implementing crucial changes in the healthcare system is challenging but necessary, given the toll the pandemic has taken on the workforce and strained the system. The healthcare system will crumble with another pandemic should one occur in the future without the changes leading to nationwide devastation. Achieving resilience requires a collaborative effort from stakeholders and the nation. The government should enforce rules and standards for mental health programs, organizations must foster a supportive culture, and investments in workforce development through training and workshops are essential. Breaking the silence around healthcare workers' struggles is vital, starting from educational institutions and extending to leadership in health systems and the communities they serve. We as a nation have a moral obligation to embrace this call to care for the healthcare workers who have relentlessly worked round the clock to care for us. Once these changes take effect, the healthcare system, including its workers, will be on the path to recovery.
