Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare J. Nivas on February 14 (Wednesday) inaugurated ‘Care Companion’, a programme aimed at strengthening the healthcare system for medical officers across the State.
Under the programme, conceptualised by Noora Health, a firm involved in caregiving, kin of patients would be educated on how one should be taken care of for a speedy recovery.
“During the waiting time of patients and their families in hospitals, healthcare providers educate them on symptoms, behavioural changes required for improved health, possible issues and how to address them,” he said, adding that the waiting halls have turned into classrooms of sorts.
