Event Description
- Full Description:
- The COVID-19 pandemic has taken everyone by surprise. Most governments, rich and poor, are experiencing profound challenges in terms of both health and economic changes. As the capacities of governments, health systems and knowledge concerning COVID-19 have been limited, most have been underprepared, especially frontline workers: the doctors, nurses and other healthcare and public health professionals who have had to work with COVID-19 patients under challenging conditions.
This webinar offers perspectives from the frontline. Service providers describe the challenges they face/faced, their successes and failures, and perhaps most importantly, the emotional and relational challenges they have faced in providing patient care and engaging with the broader community regarding this fear-inspiring contagious disease.
Insight from frontline health service providers, it is anticipated, will help in informing steps to build better health systems and improve preparedness for future health-related crisis management.
The online presentations of the cross-country experiences and perspectives of frontline medical professionals will be followed by a Q&A and a summary of lessons learnt by the moderators.
Join us on Monday 27 July 2020, 2pm (Brisbane, AEST) and 10am (Dhaka, Bangladesh).
