Dubai: Life in the middle of the pandemic in the United Arab Emirates has a lot.
Dr. Azad Moopen, founding president and CEO of Aster DM Healthcare, said, like everyone else, that he was also affected by the pandemic. “But there has been a lot of learning along the way and that helps us stay active in managing a fitness. attention group, ” said Moopen.
When the World Health Organization (WHO) began talking about the growing number of coronavirus cases before this year, it said: “We were proactive and preparing for the worst to come. In early March, the WHO announced the scenario as a pandemic. ” But it was supplied to us to take good care of the stage.
Being in the fitness sector, Moopen said he and his staff should live up to the task and be prepared to take care of the situation. “For example, when we first checked where we were as a hospital group, we found that we had 42 spaces at risk, but we plugged all the gaps and I’m very proud to say that we controlled to do it as a team.
Prior to COVID-19, physical health professionals rarely wore masks when they saw a patient. Now it’s different, ” he noted. Being supplied to deal with the pandemic also meant predicting a long-term situation. Get the logistics so everything is in place. “. It’s an apprenticeship in itself.
He said learning the medical protocols for a pandemic of this magnitude was a challenge, but it became imaginable through the harsh paintings and help of the team. “Everywhere in the world, not just here in the United Arab Emirates, other people didn’t know how to take care of COVID-19. Now we are doing it, through a lot of education and implementation. Aster was able to treat 7,375 patients and examined/evaluated 100,088 patients for COVID-19 infection. »
“The pandemic has also forced us to be informed of everything new in the medical picture of the treatment of patients with severe respiratory disorders: questionable ventilation. Abdominal ventilation is an invasive mechanical ventilation that is given when the patient is in posterior decubbital. He said Aster had deployed more than two hundred medical staff, as well as doctors, nurses and paramedics working around the clock to treat COVID-19 patients in the United Arab Emirates. “Our frontline infantrymen were engaged in a war against a monster,” he said.
Dr. Moopen said: “In fact, there is a primary effect on our business. Total revenues in various vertical and geographical sectors were reduced by more than 60%. As a fitness service provider, our maximum life-burden component is human resources. “(HR). We are locating tactics to achieve some monetary sustainability and we also look forward to government support. “Our number one care physicians, nurses, medical staff and others are putting their lives at risk. They were at the forefront of all this. And when they got sick, it broke my heart. My staff is like my family. When something affects them, it affects me, too. I felt like an arrow had hit me in the chest. But I made a combination and knew I had to stand up directly and stay strong. It was a moment that replaced my life emotionally. It made me stronger. They saw me coming in combination and they knew they had to do the same, we had to face the crisis and give our best.
He claimed that appointments with the circle of relatives have taken a big step forward as he no longer travels. “Before COVID-19, I traveled one week a month. Now that doesn’t happen. I’m very relieved with that. My food behavior has also taken a step forward a lot. I feel more guilty now.
Moving forward, Moopen said the pandemic will not create an emotional or intellectual barrier between other people. “When we communicate about social distancing, it is from a physical point of view. Yes, that is the key. But other people do not move. ” away socially from loved ones and friends emotionally. On the contrary, the pandemic brings other people closer.
