PHASED REOPENING OF OUTPATIENT CLINICS

Goodwill, Dominica, September 17th, 2021- The Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) Management at the
Dominica China Friendship Hospital will be reopening outpatient clinics as a requirement for continuity of patient care. We must acknowledge the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic will be with us for quite some time and as such there is the necessity for hospital services to resume this important service provision in a safe and practical manner.


Accordingly, a comprehensive set of protocols have been developed for the safe reopening of clinics with effect from Monday September 20 2021. Many of the clinics in this first phase of reopening are currently located at spaces normally dedicated to these clinics. These include: ophthalmology (new), oncology (including ENT, Infectious diseases and Dermatology) and cardiology. Clinics will not exceed 10-patients per clinic and all patients must present an antigen /PCR test on the day of clinic before they can access the clinic. Patients will not be allowed to enter the hospital unless the result of their test is tendered. Doctors are expected to be on time for appointments. Phase 2 will see the reopening of other major clinics within 2-weeks. These include: for obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedics, general surgery, internal medicine, paediatrics and urology.


In like manner, the radiology department will also reopen services by appointment. Their protocols will follow the general guidelines with limits established for outpatients for general x-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds.


The public is requested to adhere to the protocol and ensure that they present for appointments on time with their antigen result.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
