Measures for the COVID-19 pandemic

In order to provide healthcare services during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have prepared for the possible arrival of patients with COVID-19 at our clinic. Our staff has received training and equipment to ensure the following:

• Prevent the spread of respiratory diseases including COVID-19 within the facility;
• Promptly identify and isolate patients with possible COVID-19 and inform the correct facility staff and public health authorities;
• Care for a limited number of patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 as part of routine operations;
• Potentially care for a larger number of patients in the context of an escalating outbreak while maintaining adequate care for other patients;
• Monitor and manage any healthcare personnel that might be exposed to COVID-19;
• Communicate effectively within the facility and plan for appropriate external communication related to COVID-19;

This checklist is intended to complement the comprehensive, allhazard, multisectoral measures for emergency hospital preparedness, recommended by the EU. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have ceased to admit inpatients in order to minimize exposure risks. However, our outpatient services will continue to operate without interruption.
