Proper hygiene practices play a crucial role in preventing the transmission of the virus. Our training program emphasizes the significance of frequent handwashing, the appropriate use of hand sanitizers, and the importance of maintaining a clean and sanitized environment. By implementing these practices, we aim to create a safe and healthy workplace for both our staff and patients.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Usage
Our staff is trained on the correct usage of personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves, and face shields. We emphasize the importance of wearing PPE as a preventive measure and provide detailed guidance on proper donning, doffing, and disposal techniques. By adhering to recommended protocols, we ensure the highest level of protection for our team and patients.
Proper Patient Management
Efficient patient management is crucial to reduce the risk of exposure and ensure effective care. Our training includes guidance on triaging patients, implementing social distancing measures, and following appropriate isolation protocols.
