Covid Preparedness: A ward-level approach

In this episode, DH Radio's Rasheed Kappan speaks to Vikram Rai of the Bengaluru Apartments Federation (BAF) and Dr Ambanna Gowda from Sparsh Hospital Infantry Road

How a decentralised, hyper-local, ward-level network can boost Covid preparedness

Hello and welcome to DH Radio!

The Covid-19 pandemic might never return with the ferocity witnessed two years ago in Bengaluru but the failure of a top-down approach to tackle the viral spread had hastened the need for an alternative, grassroots approach with hyper-local, ward-level triaging, patient identification and response.

In this episode, DH Radio's Rasheed Kappan speaks to Vikram Rai, General Secretary, Bengaluru Apartments Federation (BAF) and Dr Ambanna Gowda, Senior Consultant Physician, Sparsh Hospital Infantry Road, on the hyper-local approach and why having a robust network at the grassroots can make a difference.
