The institute has an established COVID-19/Flu unit for quality patient care for a few years, stabilized during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020). Optimizing the care by supporting hands by patients, public, Healthcare workers (HCWs), and students/trainees is of utmost importance for excellence.
The mission is simple i.e. to practice COVID-19/Flu appropriate behaviour for a safe and healthy society.
The objectives of the unit is to share knowledge about COVID-19/Flu practices in the institute through meetings, orders, circulars, conferences, publications, or other educational and research activities; To promote skills to various healthcare cadres through capacity-building workshops, short discussions and develop tools/mechanisms for enabling practices in own working areas; To promote research and innovations in various depts for better health-related outcomes by employing right practices along with standard of care; To develop institute benchmarks on key indicators of the practices; and To prepare and update regularly guidelines/guidance documents on the same.
Few targets to achieve these objectives are:
- Zero tolerance to non-compliance to COVID-19/Flu appropriate behaviour
- Decreasing turn-around time for all COVID-19/Flu microbiological diagnosis
- Improving optimal integrated patient care of COVID-19/Flu
- Achieving 100% regular COVID-19/Flu management including prevention and control training to all HCWs
