Impact of Covid-19 on training As the coronavirus pandemic struck the country, demand for ventilators have increased drastically. The country has only 5000 life-saving devices (ventilators), raising concerns whether these devices will reach patients in need. In those early weeks, hospitals had to beat back the coronavirus pandemic with the ventilators they already had. The coronavirus is spread through the respiratory system, and attacks the lungs. In severe cases, the machines are crucial for pumping air in and out of the lungs, doing the breathing for them. Hospitals, stretched to their limit, faced a problem: How to keep their limited ventilator stock running? Like other medical devices, ventilators require regular upkeep and repairs, which render them temporarily unusable. More maintenance time means less time keeping coronavirus patients breathing. But technicians, must wade through a labyrinthine system of fees, requests, certifications, and training programs before servicing the devices. In preparation for COVID-19 patients, it borrowed another 30 in mid-March. The hospital has 11 different ventilator models in its stock. If an in-house technician needs to repair a ventilator, they can't just go ahead and grab their toolkit. They need the manufacturer's stamp of approval first. At Brickfield hospital, that means 11 different certifications - one for each model. A single certification program for one technician could cost up to R37,000, Melusi said. That's before lost labor time and travel costs like flights and hotels. The problem that Brickfield and others face has been taken up by the "right-to-repair" movement, which advocates the right for product owners to fix their own devices free of charge. The issue is a sprawling one: From medical devices to cell phones and tractors, companies impose software locks to prevent independent mechanics from fixing their products. "It just isn't feasible to send a technician to a technical training on each and every device," Melusi said. "Not only does it get costly, but it can be hard sometimes to even get into the trainings, depending on how often they are provided." Melusi said "The best available solution to the problem at hand is to train more technicians to fix these ventilators." However, the majority of Universities and Colleges are closed due to COVID19. Assume that you are the training and development manager at Brickfield Hospital. You are aware that most universities and colleges across the country are closed but some can offer online courses. Assume that the Hospital have a training partnership with one of the universities in questions.
