Follow buddy system to avoid Covid: Govt. to docs, nurses

 Rohit Shishodia

The Indian Health Ministry has advised that healthcare workers should follow the buddy system in Covid wards to ensure that there is no breach in Covid infection prevention practices.


In an updated advisory, the ministry has said that under the buddy system approach, two or more-person team is formed amongst the deployed hospital staff who share responsibilities for his/her partner’s safety and well-being in the context of appropriately donning and doffing of PPEs, maintaining hand hygiene and taking requisite steps on observing breach of PPEs.

As per the new advisory, a nodal officer (Infection Control Officer) shall be identified by each hospital to address all matters related to Healthcare Associated Infections.

With reference to preventing such infection among healthcare workers, he/she will ensure that healthcare workers in different settings of hospitals shall use PPEs appropriate to their risk profile as detailed in the guidelines issued by the ministry.

The ministry has advised that healthcare workers have to ensure that all preventive measures like frequent washing of hands/use of alcohol based hand sanitizer and respiratory etiquettes (using tissue/handkerchief while coughing or sneezing) are followed at all times.

He/she shall use appropriate PPE at all times while on duty. Any breach in PPE and exposure is to be immediately informed to the nodal officer/HoD of the department.

Healthcare workers, after leaving the patient care units (wards/OPDs/ICUs) at the doctor’s duty rooms/hostels/canteen or outside the HCF must follow social distancing and masking to prevent transmission to/acquiring infection from other HCWs who may be positive.

Pregnant/lactating mothers and immuno-compromised healthcare workers shall inform their medical condition to the hospital authorities for them to get posted only in non-Covid areas.
