 I am Dr. Sumit Talwar. I am the chairman of bariatric and metabolic surgery and the head of the department of general surgery department in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. I want to inform all of you that our hospital has started functioning nearly completely post the lifting of the lockdown 3. We have taken adequate precautions in the OPD and in the entrance of the patients, all patients are screened for fever and they are given hand sanitizers. It is ensured that everybody is wearing a mask. In the OPD we have maintained adequate social distancing and there's adequate meeting space for everybody. There is periodic cleaning of all the seating and floor surfaces. In the operation theatre as well we have taken all possible precautions to prevent this spread of infection. The OTs are being cleaned more rigorously and then before we are fumigating the OTs. All the OTs have been segregated also. All doctors are wearing N95 or better masks and they are using PPEs to protect the patients. In the wards also all the nurses have been trained for hand sanitization and the hospital beds and surfaces are being cleaned periodically.
