While vaccinations stall out in the U.S. and South Dakota, Sanford Health is helping the world fight the ongoing pandemic.
Sanford World Clinic is helping train health professionals across nine countries and its 11 clinics as shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine make their way around the globe.
The renowned hospital system is transferring lessons and preparations on fighting the pandemic from its own halls to support clinics globally, focusing primarily on Costa Rica, Ghana and New Zealand at the moment, according to Sanford Health officials.
Most training is done from Sioux Falls. Using phone calls, video conferencing and sending out training materials to partner organizations, the clinics are getting prepared with a similar set of standards used right in the Sanford clinics and hospitals in South Dakota.
