SOS Children’s Villages Liberia partners with US Center for Disease Control and Montserrado County Health Team to provide refresher training on infectious disease prevention and control to healthcare workers.
The training focused on 4 strategic areas – effective use of personal protective equipment (PPE), hand hygiene, patients flow, and laboratory strengthening. The partnership aimed at reducing the risk of healthcare workers contracting coronavirus as well as strengthening the capacity of staff at the SOS medical centre. Seventy-five clinical and non-clinical staff participated in the training. SOS Children’s Villages Liberia also started providing psychosocial support to the staff of the SOS medical centre to reduce coronavirus stigmatization.
