In an effort to spread the message of healthcare safety and with the objective of making hospitals and healthcare facilities safe from disasters and its consequences, AMEN is organising a one-day workshop on ‘Disaster Management and Preparedness for Hospitals’ on June 15, 2013 at Bangalore, India.

The conference is being touted as a one-stop solution to all queries pertaining to disaster management in hospitals. Topics and issues like understanding types of disasters and the disaster management cycle; hospital preparedness for a disaster… processes, codes and protocols; pre and post disaster preparedness; triage and its execution during a disaster; effectively executing a disaster management plan; effectively managing an internal disaster; staff role and responsibility during a disaster; training the disaster management team; architectural and other technical considerations during a disaster will be covered by pioneers and eminent speakers from the healthcare industry.

The workshop is expected to help participants gain hands-on experience and knowledge from real time case studies including the Case Study of Disaster Management at Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad during the February 2013 bomb blast. Participants would include healthcare promoters, CEO’s, administrators, healthcare management consultants, emergency/casualty staff, support staff involved in emergency services, PRO’s, front office executives and students.

“It’s very important for hospitals to be prepared for any kind of mass casualty at any time and hence this workshop. We also plan to take this workshop to other parts of the country in the near future,” shared Paniel Jayanth, the Founder & Chief Strategist of AMEN.
