OIC- COMSTECH Webinar on “Overcoming War-Related Trauma in Healthcare Workers”

Organized by OIC – COMSTECH

Tentative Date: 09^th October 2025 (1300 HRS – 1500 HRS, Pakistan Time)

Healthcare workers deployed in such environments are often exposed to intense stress, human suffering, loss, and personal risks. These experiences can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, burnout, and moral injury, which impact the well-being of healthcare providers but also affect the quality of care they deliver.

Through this session, the OIC-COMSTECH seeks to raise awareness, share coping and self-care strategies, provide resilience-building tools, and showcase institutional and community support systems that can help healthcare workers manage trauma effectively. The webinar will also serve as a knowledge-sharing forum to strengthen collaboration among experts, policymakers, and healthcare providers across OIC Member States.
