Impact of COVID-19 Response Strategies on Frontline Health Workers' Motivation: A Case Study in Two Regional Referral Hospitals in Ghana and Uganda.

2024Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

The COVID-19 response interventions' implementation yielded varied perceptions on healthcare workers' motivation both positive and negative. These were attributed to leadership quality, promises like financial incentives and complementary services, and unmet commitments. The COVID-19 pandemic response strategies in both countries underscore the need for preparedness in the face of unforeseen outbreaks. Failure to sustain healthcare worker motivation may compromise future response effectiveness. Governments must learn from this and come up with well sought of response strategies incorporating health workers' input for comprehensive crisis management. They should establish well-resourced, multisectoral units with specific incentives to handle the response.
