RAK Hospital screens and maintains Covid-free status

Patients can visit RAK Hospital with full confidence that it has achieved and guarantees a Covid-free environment

Dubai — RAK Hospital has been conducting regular Covid-19 screenings for all 525 of its staff members for several months now, as part of its intensive efforts in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dr Raza Siddiqui, executive director, RAK Hospital, said: “Numerous things were done, to create a positive ambience for managing the adversities faced due to the pandemic situation, beginning with compulsory monthly tests for all our employees, to setting up a special quarantine facility, complete with all amenities for the employees. We also ensured that there were no layoffs, salary cuts or decrease in privileges for any of the staff members as our employees’ happiness remains our top priority.”
Furthermore, RAK Hospital, in line with its principles of zero tolerance, is taking maximum precautions during the pandemic period and following the strictest protocols of infection control. As such, the hospital staff is on medical high alert, with substantially enhanced cleaning protocols in place, while physical access to the hospital premises has been radically restricted to patients and hospital staff only, thereby reducing the risk of contamination to a minimum.
RAK Hospital is also working on deploying robots to disinfect its hospital facilities without any human intervention and in a short span of time, resulting in complete and exhaustive sterilisation.
“On account of the additional health measures that we have taken, patients can visit RAK Hospital with full confidence since we have achieved and guarantee a Covid-19-free environment, where patients are in contact exclusively with healthcare workers who have tested negative for the virus. Our environment is safe, our staff is safe. You can trust RAK Hospital as you are in safe and infection-free hands,” said Dr Siddiqui.
