Train your Assistant or else Cross Infection Control Fails

Professor Durgesh Bailoor and Dr Ashish Sankhla MBA (Hospital adminstrator) organized a training session in the Karnavati School of Dentistry on Seriousness of Cross Infection control.

The Target audience was NON- teaching and Auxiliary Staff who assist the doctors and help them to maintain hygiene and cross infection control in the clinics. Posters , handouts made in Gujarati language and demonstrations of proper instrument handling , hand washing , autoclaving and use of sterilizing indicators were some of the components of training.

Recent spate of Congo fever deaths amongst health care personnel in Gujarat , specially Sanand district was highlighted.

Dr Hiren and Dr Bhumi both Post graduate students in Oral Medicine and Radiology department were on the forefront to give the total education in Gujarati language so that the comprehension amongst auxiliaries was total.

It was also a training session for Post graduates who have to involve in different aspects of clinical training of auxiliaries in local language.

The post graduate students are encouraged to use blue smocks together with head gear and gloves routinely . This will sensitize them on seriousness to protect from TB, HIV, Congo Fever and Swine Flu to name the least.

I urge all the hospital departments please train your auxiliaries well and also be very afraid of infections spreading across India- Dont take your life so lightly that u forget basics of barrier methods and its assiduous implementation.
