‘We Care’ is a special online training course for health care workers, designed to explain the standard usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) while keeping in mind the limitations of working during Covid-19. This course aims to engage more than a 100,000 doctors, nurses, paramedics and support staff from all over Pakistan. The training course is designed to make participants aware of the role of PPE in protecting oneself in a contagious environment and their personal responsibility to wear the proper PPE according to the risk in the environment they are working in.
A standardized national curriculum for this training has been developed and top medical universities all across Pakistan are selected to deliver the training to their respective areas.
‘We care’ also aims to sensitize the public, including patients and visitors at healthcare facilities, to supports frontline healthcare workers by following preventive behaviors to not only reduce the risk of infection to themselves but also reduce the work burden on and health risks for the health providers.
We are hoping for a very positive result of ‘We Care’ program and specialized trainings at national level.
