From the Paper:

"The slew of problems currently plaguing the Occupational Health Care Department stems from the fact that this branch of healthcare is seen as trivial and is not identified as an important component of the health care continuum. As the Director of Occupational Services, Health Sciences Division, I have unraveled a number of issues related to the Occupational health role in the overall management of health resources in the division that need attention and are presented in the report below."
