Last week Asian Voice reported that multiple bodies in the UK are helping doctors in India to treat Covid patients with their expertise and resources. Dr Harpreet Sood, Clinical Advisor for the Covid-19 Vaccine programme, Trustee of South Asian Health Foundation and a GP in London has joined the drive after his colleagues from India requested him to intervene.
Speaking to Asian Voice, Dr Sood said, "This all came around after we were contacted by our colleagues in India for us to share learning experiences from the UK's wave as well. On the basis of that we arranged a series of webinars where we're getting thousands of registrations and views. The webinars are more about helping them information and give them an understanding of what could work there based on experiences. However it is important to note that there are organisational and cultural differences. We've got webinars on Covid oximetry at home, remote management, hospital and ICU management, prevention and diagnosis, early management of Covid19 and mental health support and resources. With partners, we are putting a lot of guidance together as a one stop shop where we've been coordinating with some of the activities around. It's about sharing the level of expertise we have with colleagues in India. Our aim is around education, resources, knowledge and learning."
