Tata Trusts and the Tata group have tied up with two renowned medical institutions to assist health care professionals augment skills in critical care in the management of Covid-19. The two institutions are Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore and Care Institute of Health Sciences (CIHS) Hyderabad.<\/p>\n

The Trusts\u2019 intervention follows the Chairman, Mr. Ratan N. Tata\u2019s statement that \u201curgent emergency resources need to be deployed to cope with the needs of fighting the Covid-19 crisis, which is one of the toughest challenges the human race will face.\u201d<\/p>\n

The curated 22-hour on-line training programmes are meant for specific staff chosen by identified hospitals and are provided free of cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tata Trusts believes that ICU Physicians and Intensivists, specialised in critical care management, will require support of a wider cohort of doctors, nurses and paramedical staff to treat Covid-19 patients. The intent of the training programmes is to meet this need by acquainting non-ICU professionals with the fundamental principles and practices of critical care.<\/p>\n

The training includes essentials of interventions and procedures in ICUs, orientation of critical care skills like airway management and ventilator management, and how to triage a criticality as mild, moderate or severe and refer cases to appropriate facilities. The programmes will also cover essentials of managing variegated facilities for Covid-19 management, such as isolation centres, quarantine centres, and management of service areas and patients with mild illness.<\/p>\n

\"TataThere are two different methodologies of training available either through live webinars or prepared modules accessible on laptops, desktops or mobile phones.<\/p>\n

CMC Vellore\u2019s method trains and develops master trainers, who in turn can coach wider groups in their respective facilities. CIHS Hyderabad\u2019s method directly trains small groups.<\/p>\n

Both the institutions have designed their programmes such that participants can provide the required support to their Intensivist and ICU colleagues should the need arise.<\/p>\n

This is the fourth such intervention of Tata Trusts to support India in its Covid-19 response.<\/p>\n

Four government hospital buildings, two in Uttar Pradesh and two in Maharashtra, are being upgraded into Covid-19 treatment centres. The facilities, including both in-patient and out-patient wings, are permanent and will enduringly enhance health care in their locations, even after the immediate purpose is met.<\/p>\n

The Trusts have already begun donating to State Governments and individual hospitals Personal Protection Equipment, including coveralls, N95\/KN95 masks, surgical masks, gloves and goggles. Thus far, PPE supplies have gone out to about 26 states and Union Territories.<\/p>\n

Tata Trusts has also done a pan-India community outreach to induce adoption of health practices, as promoted by the Government of India, in rural areas to prevent the spread of Covid-19.\u00a0 Beginning 31st March, the exercise is expected to have already reached about 21 million people in 21 states.<\/p>\n
