Preface

COVID-19 is a new and uncertain Pandemic, any hope of any early dissipation of the virus has been invalidated by the second wave of the mutated virus appearing in the European Countries.

We have been appreciated by the the world over for having managed the COVID 19 pandemic threat through a combination of strict SOP protocol implementation together with the smart and timely lockdowns. The Government of Pakistan and our health ministries deserve praises which have been showered upon Pakistan as a third world country for the setting an example of timely handing of Covid-19 Pandemic. Since the Pandemic is possibly here to stay for some time, the Medical Institutions are going to be subjected to surprise checks.

Our institute Amina Inayat Medical education complex , has been working day and night to prevent spread of this virus for uninterrupted medical and dental education ,as per the guidelines given by the Ministry of NHSR&C and the discrepancies pointed out during our inspection.

The attached pages are the protocols devised and implemented in light of guidelines provided the Ministry of NHSR&C Guidelines along with points extracted from UHS AIMEC inspection report . Given at the end is the filled performa in accordance to Rapid Assessment of Educational Facilities – Basic Information Form, which again has been taken from Page 24 of the NHSR&C Guidelines.

Objective

To provide the Health guide lines to students, faculty, and administration Patients of AIMC, FDC and KFH in the Context of ongoing COVID 19 pandemic while ensuring all possible precautions to minimize the risk of spread of infection.

Strategies

We have formulized different Strategies, which include:

  2. Staggering: different break times, Division of classes in small batches, breaking large classes into smaller groups
  3. Distancing: 6 feet between desks/seating and open-air classes.
  4. Use of face mask and stringent hand hygiene practices
  5. Appropriate screening protocols.
