Event Details

Healthcare workers (HCWs) have been at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) since the start. Despite the risk of being infected while on duty, they remain committed to caring for each patient that comes their way. Recognizing the long-term value of maintaining safe working environments for HCWs, the Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) and Project HOPE are rolling out a new project—Saving the Lives of Healthcare Workers in the Philippines.


Under the project, select regional and provincial hospitals throughout the country will be equipped with much-needed personal protective equipment (PPE). HCWs will also be provided with COVID-19 Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) training to augment their ongoing efforts to safely screen and treat patients. To round out the project, targeted hospitals and health facilities will be receiving technical assistance for improved IPC management through identification of gaps and needs and implementing improved controls, practices, and protocols.


In this webinar, you will learn how you can join us in saving the lives of our HCWs!
