Healthcare professionals are handling COVID-19 patients at the risk of getting cross-infected. There are, however, practice guidelines that should be judiciously discussed among HCPs to reduce the collateral damage.
In times of social distancing, Webinars are the best tool for doctors and medical experts to share knowledge and exchange ideas with fellow clinicians. Since the lockdown, we’ve partnered with several prestigious medical associations to host webinars on our platform and empower the medical community.
We recently conducted a multi-location webinar with IAGES – Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endosurgeons, where the panelists discussed COVID-19 guidelines for doctors to minimize casualties and cross-infection.
The participants included Dr. Ramen Goel, Dr. M. Kanagavel, Dr. Sayandev Dasgupta, Dr. Pala Rajesh, Dr. G. V. Rao, Prof Dr. K. S. Raghunandan, Dr. A. S. Valan, Dr. Hemalatha Varadhan, and Dr. Vijayakumar Velu, who joined from different parts of the World.
Here are the video highlights from the webinar
If you want to see the video later, then here are the takeaways from the webinar:
i) Dividing asymptomatic patients on the basis of clusters and type of surgeries is necessary
ii) Surgical categorization and prioritization need to be done
iii) Elective procedures should be avoided to protect healthcare workers
iv) COVID positive facilities need to be separated from COVID negative facilities
We received a tremendous response for the webinar. It was viewed on our platform by 550+ community members live.
We aim to fill the information gap as much as we can during COVID-19, and with that intent we will be conducting more of such webinars in the coming time. If you are interested in conducting a remote webinar with us, feel free to reach us at – sales@docplexus.in/ +91 9881969598
