COVID-19 Communication Team in HEOC
| COVID-19 Communication Team in HEOC |

| Location: |
Health Emergency Operation Center (HEOC), Kathmandu |
| Institution: |
America Nepal Medical Foundation – Nepal |
| Project: |
As we come to the end of the three months of this project [21ANMF002] the cases are rising daily and has reached at almost 3,600 cases per day again. At this rate it is imminent that the lockdown will happen and people will suffer. ANMF-Nepal is applying for an extension for 3 months because the communication center would be really helpful for the suffering patients. Hospital occupancy is on the rise again as the rise in cases so this center would be really helpful.
The team will collect data from hospitals to provide beds, ICU, HDU, oxygen availability and other urgent data required for the patients. If the Covid positive patients increases dramatically and finding empty beds will become more difficult if the team will coordinate with the patients and the Hospital it will be much easier for the patients.
As the second wave of corona was just getting over the cases having been on the rise and has reached from 1,300 to 3,600 cases per day and it is a worrying sign. We must act fast before the third wave rather than wait for it to hit us. It is time to assess the resources, e.g. oxygen, human resources, number of ICU/HDU beds, etc. and start filling the gaps as required. The most important issue in disasters is the data so that we can coordinate the resources for better outcome. |
