Completion of the project "Training of health personnel regarding the situation of COVID-19"

Grow Albania Foundation completed the trainings program in some of the maternity hospitals of Tirana as planned for the project "Covid-19 Training".

This project aimed to train the medical staff of these hospitals, to guide them on how to follow the guidelines, not only about personal protective equipment, which are essential to reduce direct exposure to individuals or even harmful biological agents, but also on how to identify new cases and manage of confirmed ones, etc.

    The training package aimed at recognizing and mastering the following concepts:
  • COVID-19 Surveillance Case Definition
  • Recognition of clinical and epidemiological criteria
  • Notification and investigation procedure for all suspected, possible and probable cases confirmed by COVID - 19
  • Definition of contact and their reporting
  • Collection, storage and transport of samples as well as their classification (respiratory samples and serological samples)
  • Hygienic precautions measures
  • Case management
  • Management of contacts and of people exposed to an uncovered and potential case
  • Management of a confirmed case
  • Management of contacts and asymptomatic exposed persons to a confirmed case
  • Treatment of a confirmed positive case
  • Ongoing care for hygienic-sanitary measures / isolation measures

This project implemented with the support of ASCS - CIVIL SOCIETY SUPPORT AGENCY, we believe has been successful in increasing information on a communication as careful as possible between staff and patients in this pandemic period.
