Govt to hold mock drills for Covid
By MYBRANDBOOK
Centre has issued an advisory for holding mock drills across a number of health facilities in several states and Union Territories to ensure their readiness to deal with any eventuality related to COVID-19.
The exercise will focus on availability of health facilities (covering all districts), capacity of isolation beds, oxygen-supported beds, ICU beds and ventilator-supported beds, along with optimal availability of doctors, nurses, paramedics, AYUSH doctors, and other frontline workers.
It will also focus on human resource capacity in terms of healthcare professionals trained on COVID-19 management, ventilatory management protocol for severe cases, operation of PSA plants etc and availability of advanced and basic life support ambulances, testing equipment and reagents and that of essential drugs among others.
Union health secretary Rajesh Bhushan said, “The objective of this exercise is to ensure operational readiness of these health facilities for management of COVID-19. Preparedness of COVID-19 health facilities is crucial to ensure that states and districts are in a state of readiness to meet increase in clinical care needs due to any spurt in cases.”
The Delhi government officials began physically visiting all government hospitals in the city to ascertain their preparedness to deal with any eventuality in view of the surge in COVID cases in some countries. The Uttar Pradesh government also activated the administrative machinery to test COVID preparedness and management, including conduct of mock drills at medical colleges and hospitals across the state.
