So much of the conversation around Covid-19 has been from the well resourced, high income countries. A pandemic is bad enough when a country has almost unlimited funds to throw at the problem: but what is it like in areas where this is not the case?
For this podcast we have spread our wings yet further: our guests today are:
Cleopatra Patterson, anaesthetist and paediatric intensivist from the Bustamante Children’s Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica
Tarik Davidson, head of Paediatric Critical Care at the National Referral Hospital in Guyana
Fenny Shidhika, Paediatric cardiologist and critical care from Windhoek Central Hospital, Namibia
Bala, Ramachandran, Intensivist from Kanchi Kamakoti Childs Trust Hospital, Paediatric Chennai, India
Sumant Patil, Paediatric Intensivist from Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, India
How has it been so far? What effect has Covid-19 had on your practice, department, hospital, and country? What kind of patients have been seen? What are PPE stocks like, and what are people using for PPE? Can you reuse it?
This is a global problem, which needs global thought and team working.
