The
unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has forced the entire world population to stay
home. However, some healthcare needs like child
vaccinations, accidents and health emergencies require hospital visits, which
like visiting any other public place can be scary.

The best way to beat this pandemic is to create a safe environment for the public to practice social distancing and healthy hygiene habits. Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbaiis ensuring this at every step. A safe green hospital, Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai is observing strict screening protocols, while providing 24/7 Emergency services in view of the disease.

Screening Protocols

Upon
entering the hospital all visitorsfirst stop at a help desk where they are made
to sanitize their hands to protect themselves and others and provided masks to
cover their faces. After the first round of screening, the patients are
directed to the thermal screening room. In the first room,the patients’
temperature is recorded via an infrared thermometer after which a doctor
screens them. If theypresent no symptoms, they are given access to the general
OPD area. However, those suspected to have COVID-19 or flu-related symptoms are
taken to a separate area and then directed to the nearest designated yellow
hospitals.

To
ensure that social distancing is strictly practiced, Apollo Hospitals has
developed the Apollo 24|7 app for all non-emergency consultations with experts
from all departments. The app also uses AI based technologies to allow users to
assess their COVID-19 risk profile by answering a few simple questions. It also
