Our COVID-19 Experience: The Last 6 Months

Home News Our COVID-19 Experience: The Last 6 Months

News01/07/2020drasa_admin

In March we posted an update sharing what we were doing as part of the Lagos State Response Team to support the fight against COVID-19, but since then so much has happened!

As July begins and we enter the second half of 2020, we’ve reflected on our COVID-19 activities and here’s a quick overview of what we’ve accomplished so far:

BUILDING CAPACITY

Trained and equipped

1,583 health personnel

on Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

IPC Program: Health Workers Trained

  • Since Nigeria’s 1st confirmed case of COVID-19, DRASA has trained and equipped more than 1,500 medical and non-medical health personnel in Lagos state including doctors, nurses, hygienists, cleaners, lab scientists, sample collectors, ambulance drivers, medicine vendors, just to name a few
  • We have also provided remote Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) support to 4 other states in their efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19
  • After our IPC program, these health professionals go on to serve in COVID-19 treatment centers around the country and support Nigeria’s response as frontline health workers

INSPECTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Assessed construction and set up of

35 isolation and quarantine facilities

Assessment of Isolation and Quarantine Centers

  • Many COVID-19 treatment centers have been set up across the country and we have assessed the construction, set up, and renovation of more than 35 isolation and quarantine facilities to ensure they can safely and adequately house COVID-19 positive or suspect cases

DEVELOPING POLICIES

Supported the development of

16 Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) guidelines and SOPsDeveloping IPC Policies

  • To help the operations of treatment centers and quarantine facilities, we participated in the development of 16 guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for COVID-19

INCREASING AWARENESS

Educated and prepared

485 personnel

from hospitality, aviation, and education sectors as they prepare to resume post-lockdown

COVID-19 Education for Non-Health Sector Personnel

  • As lockdowns ease and other sectors begin to reopen for business, we have expanded our support to the hospitality industry, aviation industry, and education sector among others

WHAT’S NEXT?

Train and equip

10,000 health workers every year

through Nigeria’s First-Ever Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Simulation Center

Nigerias First-Ever IPC Simulation Training Center

  • We’re setting up Nigeria’s first-ever Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Simulation Training Center so we can train up to 10,000 health workers every year who will serve as our nation’s defense against COVID-19 and whichever infectious disease comes next
  • We’re expanding our IPC training to support other sectors because at the end of the day, we all need to know how to stay safe in this COVID-19 era
  • We’re still serving as a member of the Emergency Response Operations Team in Lagos State – the epicenter of Nigeria’s COVID-19 outbreak – and we’ll continue to lend our support to reduce the impact of COVID-19 across our country

About Us

DRASA Health Trust is a public health organization working with government, local and international partners, community leaders, students, and health workers to promote adequate sanitation and hygiene, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s health security and emergency preparedness.

DRASA was established in memory of the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh who identified and contained Nigeria's first Ebola patient, preventing a major outbreak, but lost her life in the process.
