POLICE MEDICAL
Police officers work under significant work pressure, which often results in untreated health complications due to lack of time.
- Prolonged work hours and shift work disrupt sleep patterns, leading to fatigue and an increased risk of chronic diseases.
- Exposure to traumatic incidents can cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health disorders.
- The physical demands of the job, such as chasing suspects and physical altercations, can cause injuries and chronic pain.
- The need to constantly be alert and aware of potential threats can result in high levels of stress and anxiety.
Medical checkup programs were conducted for police personnel at their workplaces to address their health challenges. These checkups included general health examinations, eye tests, blood sugar, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms, which were conducted at various police stations free of cost.
- Regular health checkups can detect health issues early and prevent them from becoming more severe.
- Detecting and treating health problems can help police officers perform their duties more effectively.
- Improved health can lead to increased morale and job satisfaction among police personnel.
- Such programs demonstrate that senior police officials prioritize the well-being of their officers and can improve trust and support within the department.
