In June, HEP+ completed a series of training sessions for frontline health care workers at Guatemala’s Ministry of Health (MSPAS). HEP+ designed the content for and delivered the course, “Improving the Quality and Hospital Care of Patients with COVID-19.” The series covered topics such as epidemiology and management of COVID-19, COVID-19 therapy and therapeutic options, intubation, mechanical ventilation, nosocomial infections, anesthesia and management of delirium, and ventilator weaning. Eighty-one healthcare providers (39 doctors and 42 respiratory therapists and nursing staff) completed the 26 hours of theoretical and practical training. To continue the knowledge transfer within hospitals, those health workers who have completed the course will train the staff under their charge on the topics about which they have learned. HEP+ will provide technical assistance to update the infection prevention and control manuals in the coming weeks. A second training series is being conducted in July and August 2021, which will cover mental health for health workers, rational use of antibiotics in the patient with COVID-19, post-COVID-19 syndrome, and fungal infections in a COVID-19 patient.
