"Resilience unveiled: empowering Pakistani anesthetists in challenging low-resource environment"

Abstract

This review paper explores the difficulties that the Pakistani anesthetists experience while working in settings with limited resources and emphasizes the need of offering them support, help, and encouragement. Similar to many other poor nations, Pakistan has substantial shortages of the healthcare resources, which can have a negative influence on anesthetists' working conditions. The paper emphasizes the need for efforts to improve Pakistani anesthetist’s well-being and professional growth, while also inviting attention to the special challenges they have to confront during discharge of their professional duties. This narrative review suggests that encouraging, assisting, and supporting anesthetists who operate under such demanding circumstances can improve their motivation, job satisfaction, and generally, their ability to offer high level of patient care.
