Chennai: By rolling out what it calls the ‘six-stage ultra safety program’ that ‘ensures’ contactless detection of potential carriers of the Covid-19 virus, 100 per cent sterilisation of indoors, and minimal physical contact while providing healthcare services, Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre, Madurai, has said it is offering the highest possible protection to its patients, visitors, and staff, against coronavirus infection.
“Currently, Meenakshi Mission Hospital is also the only hospital in the country to produce N-95 masks on its own – and to use three different advanced technologies for Covid-19 testing, namely: Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), True Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (Tru NAAT), and Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CB NAAT),” said a statement.
The hospital has also come up with an ingenious innovation, named Tanjore Air Barrier Technique (TABT), to securely deliver compressed medical grade air to healthcare professionals in the operation theatres through a hood.
Its bluetooth stethoscope, another novel in-house design, lets physicians listen to internal organs of the patients without touching a stethoscope – and even when the patient is seated in another room.
