COVID-19 Response
RPI is working with our communities to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus and to also ensure residents continue to seek health care during the pandemic.
Our COVID-19 response has comprised:
Community outreach by our Community Health Workers
- providing accurate information about the virus and advice about preventive measures
- addressing misinformation and rumors about the virus
Risk mitigation at RPI facilities
- all patients present at triage for screening prior to entering the RPI facilities
- mask usage is enforced
Handwashing and sanitation initiatives
- handwashing stations have been set up at RPI facilities
- chlorox and detergents have been provided to community hand washing stations
- public access to clean water at RPI hand pumps
While the coronavirus has caused a reduction in patient presentation at health facilities throughout Liberia, the outreach work of RPI’s Community Health Workers has led to patients returning to the RPI clinic for routine care
