MEASURES UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE SAFETY OF HEALTH WORKERS
DRAFTED FOR COVID-19 SERVICES

Doctors and Health Professionals are at the forefront in the fight against COVID-19. Their efforts and spirit is being widely acclaimed at all levels. The skills and spirit of service amongst these professionals places them in a unique position to save people from this disease.

2. It is of utmost importance that adequate measures are taken for ensuring their safety. In this regard, several measures have already been taken from time to time. Some of these measures are enumerated below:

Human Resources

1. Various cadres of personnel and volunteers across sectors and departments that can also be involved in not only COVID related work but also for ensuring maintenance of other essential medical services have been identified. The respective roles of these cadres have also been mapped. An advisory in this regard was issued and is available on the website of the Ministry at https:fiwww.mohfw.govirodfiEssentialservicesduringCOVID19updated0411201.pdf.
2. An Empowered Group (Group 4) has been set up at the National level for augmenting human resource and capacity building. This Group is working on HR and capacity building and has considered the data base of all personnel. This data base is being shared with the States to help them mobilise these cadres and volunteers. A portal with data base of such cadres is also being created.
