Abstract : Burnout among healthcare professionals, especially in maternal and child health settings, is an emerging global concern. In India, increasing clinical demand, staff shortages, emotional labour, and round-the-clock care responsibilities contribute to rising stress and attrition among doctors, nurses, and support staff. This review explores the latest HR strategies and evidence-based interventions to nurture talent and prevent burnout. Topics covered include wellness programmes, leadership support, emotional intelligence training, flexible scheduling, mental health integration, and organisational culture redesign. Using examples from international best practices and Indian hospitals, the article proposes a comprehensive framework for HR departments to foster long-term staff well-being and improve patient outcomes.
