"WHO/Europe, as part of a project funded by the European Commission, launched  a first-of-its-kind survey on the mental health and well-being of health-care professionals across the 27 European Union countries, Iceland and Norway. This survey, the largest of its kind to be undertaken in Europe, aims to gather crucial data to better understand the challenges doctors and nurses face in their work environments.
