A team of dedicated doctors, nurses, and other support staff were engaged in the isolation centers with proper training and safety gear. All were equipped with proper PPE to protect themselves and also the patients from the coronavirus.
Emergency food aid
The COVID-19 pandemic had made a serious economic impact on the poor families, affecting mainly the daily earners such as labour and small business owners on the roadsides, due to generalized lockdown in the country. In this context, IFB supported 950 poor families with emergency food parcels to ensure that the most vulnerable people have the necessary food to stay safely at home.
Safe hands save lives
Hand washing is one of the most effective means to reduce the spread of pathogens and prevent infections, including the COVID-19 virus. IFB gave high priority to ensure this practice at its hospitals and also raised awareness on hygiene practices and handwashing across the communities through training of more than 22 thousand mother’s club members in Chuadanga and Meherpur. IFB has installed handwashing facilities at the entrance to all our health facilities.
