𝐌𝐌𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 warns that policies alone are insufficient to solve the deeply-rooted problem of 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬. He emphasizes that ineffective enforcement allows the toxic culture within the medical hierarchy to persist, negatively impacting healthcare workers and patient care.

"Where we fail most of the time is enforcement. We have beautiful SOPs on paper, but action and follow-through are what truly matter when a valid complaint of bullying is made." — 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐤 𝐃𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐮 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐨, 𝘔𝘔𝘈 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵

Workplace bullying is a 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 in public healthcare. MMA stresses that effective and transparent enforcement is necessary to make the zero-bullying policy truly effective in hospitals.

𝐌𝐌𝐀 is pushing the government to take immediate and definitive action against the persistent interference of insurance companies and 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝-𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 (𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐬). This interference is severely compromising the clinical autonomy of doctors, leading to unsustainable practices and potential risks to patient care.
