The chief nurse at Tan Tock Seng Hospital made sure that staff could carry out their duties safely during the Covid-19 pandemic
When she was tasked with getting the hospital ready to receive Covid-19 patients, Dr Hoi was certain of two things. One, they were in for the long haul. Two, the facilities would need to cater to the staff’s needs, so they can work with a peace of mind.
Together with other nurse leaders, she made sure there’s adequate shower, resting and dining areas for staff. That was crucial to Dr Hoi, because many of the staff were working tremendously hard to cope with the surge in patients.
