COVID-19 training for healthcare workers

ABSTRACT

This article concentrates on the most important COVID-19 data that are relevant to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who provide clinical care. The "Infodemic," or flood of false information being spread mostly through social media platforms and unofficial social networks, has hindered the use of vaccines, public health prevention measures, and patient care procedures. Healthcare professionals have a crucial role in both caring for their patients and teaching their communities. They are regarded as reliable sources of up-to-date knowledge. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for healthcare professionals to locate easily available, reliable sources of information. The collaboration between AFREHealth and Stanford University seeks to close this gap by offering training resources from reliable sources that will aid medical professionals in their fight against the widespread misinformation present in their communities. AfreHealth and Stanford University are collaborating to spread a free course that teaches medical professionals how to recognize and treat COVID-19 patients. Evidence to date shows that prompt diagnosis and top-notch treatment can significantly lower mortality rates and stop the spread of infections. In order to effectively care for their patients and be important information sources for their communities, healthcare staff must enhance what they already know with trustworthy information.
