Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel disease previously unidentified in humans. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated that all medical personnel and health workers wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while serving patients. The pandemic has caused a global shortage of PPE, especially in Indonesia, leading to the closure of many health service facilities, including several in the Kuranji District, to prevent COVID-19 transmission. In response, the community service team of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University (FK UNAND), initiated a PPE procurement project for health workers. This activity aimed to supply PPE to medical personnel at the First Level Health Facility (FLHF) in Kuranji District, Padang City. The PPE, including masks, face shields, and gowns/hazmats, was produced following a feasibility study to ensure safety for health workers. The procurement involved collaboration between the FK UNAND community service team and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The team designed models of masks, face shields, and gowns/hazmats that met health safety standards, sourced the necessary materials, and passed these designs and materials to MSMEs for production. Prior to production, a meeting with MSMEs was held to discuss the designs. Eight MSMEs were selected to produce the PPE over approximately one month. A total of 400 masks, 180 face shields, and 20 gowns were produced and distributed to 8 FLHFs in Kuranji sub-district. The handover of PPE was met with an extraordinary response from health workers, as it significantly addressed the PPE shortage and allowed FLHFs in Kuranji District to resume operations and provide medical services to the community.

Abstract

Transmission of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 from corpses to people around, namely mortuary officers and the families of the bodies, can occur through direct contact with body fluids, objects around the body that are contaminated with the coronavirus, and aerosols formed when the body is moved or turned over. The curing of the COVID-19 corpse requires special treatment so that the custodian of the corpse avoids the transmission of this coronavirus. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge and awareness of medical and mortuary staff about the importance of organizing COVID-19 bodies by taking into account the standards that the WHO has issued, professional organizations while still paying attention to the ethical, religious, and customs aspects of the local community. This capacity-building method is in the form of an online seminar on the role of medical personnel in curing COVID-19 corpses through the provision of 4 topics by four presenters. The material provided was the ethical and legal aspects of the burial of COVID-19 bodies, the management of the burial of COVID-19 corpses, religious views on the handling of COVID-19 corpses, and filling out the COVID-19 death certificate. The results of the activities obtained are the pretest and post-test results to assess the participants' knowledge. Ninety-one participants attended the pretest, and 94 participants from 150 seminar participants attended the post-test. According to standard operating procedures adopted from WHO, the funeral of the corpse is carried out by taking into account ethical, cultural, and religious aspects. The province of West Sumatra itself is primarily Muslim, so this protocol is also based on the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council. The preparation of SOPs for the healing of COVID-19 patients and socialization needs to be continued with other health workers and the community to reduce the turbidity in the community regarding the handling of the bodies of COVID-19 patients.
