March 2020
The new Corona virus – COVID19, now challenges the entire world. We are in a global fight to combat this deadly disease. The very basic need to protect healthcare professionals and patients requires major changes in the healthcare setting and in the way clinical procedures are conducted. In addition, there is a critical need to establish more ICU units dedicated to severely ill corona virus patients in need of respiratory support with trained staff to care for them.
MSR conducted licensing exams for 340 ICU nurses in order to strengthen the ICU national nursing capacity as we envision many more challenging patients in the days to come.
