A questionnaire was distributed amongst staff to determine the existence and extent of harassment in the studied hospital. Harassment wasn’t recognized as a problem by 45.8% of hospital staff. However, participants felt harassment was a serious issue. It is therefore recommended that substantial actions be taken to reduce harassment. A transparent, widely known, valid, readily accessible, and effective system for complaints is needed.
