healthcare workers
Hospital care providers
Healthcare workers are people employed in medical and health-related fields—doctors, nurses, technicians, aides, therapists, and support staff.
The term gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when healthcare workers became a collective category for those on the front lines of patient care: Healthcare workers faced unprecedented burnout during the crisis.
