How it's used
This term is a formal, collective noun used primarily in news reports, official documents, or professional settings to encompass all staff within the healthcare sector. It sounds significantly more detached and bureaucratic than specific roles like 醫生 or 護士. In casual daily conversation, people rarely use this phrase, preferring to name the specific job title instead.
