Dr Majid Twahir, Associate Dean Clinical Services and Chief of Staff at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Nairobi, writes that Kenya has managed to slow down the epidemic curve and the numbers of Covid-19 patients are coming in at a manageable rate. However, one cannot restrict patient care to only that of Covid-19 patients. AKUH has taken a raft of measures to ensure a safe environment for continued care of all patients. For AKUH, staff safety is the highest priority and the hospital has provided the necessary personal protective equipment, training and psychosocial support for all the staff.
