Why we fund wellbeing
We are committed to enhancing the wellbeing of hospital staff. When staff wellbeing is a priority, teams can deliver better patient care. Wellbeing initiatives foster a culture of engagement, ensuring that teams can be at their best. This contributes to the overall patient care experience, making a positive impact on our community.

Develops resilience
Investing in staff resilience helps them thrive in the face of ongoing challenges.
“I prioritize my health by striking a balance between my professional responsibilities and personal life. Spending quality time with my family and children brings me immense joy, and I cherish each moment with them. Additionally, I engage in soccer, both indoor and outdoor, a few times a week, along with other sports like swimming, gym workouts, and table tennis. Socializing with long-standing friends is also an integral part of maintaining my well-being.”
Professor Morteza Aghmesheh – Senior Staff Specialist Medical Oncologist
