HCAH, a leading provider of comprehensive out-of-hospital healthcare solutions in India, has introduced a groundbreaking initiative aimed at accelerating patient recovery and improving healing processes. The company has recently partnered with Aroa Biosurgery of New Zealand to tackle the challenges associated with bedsores and enhance patient care.
Aroa Biosurgery, renowned for its expertise in soft-tissue regeneration, has brought forward new product lines designed to address complex vascular and diabetic wounds. These advanced solutions are expected to significantly enhance healing and expedite recovery for patients.
In conjunction with this partnership, HCAH has launched the "WOW (Warriors of Woundcare) Nurses" programme, which focuses on preventing and treating bedsores effectively. Vivek Srivastava, Founder & CEO of HCAH, has stated, "In recognizing the ongoing efforts of our healthcare professionals, we continue to highlight the exceptional contributions of our nurses. Nurses are at the heart of patient care, and the WOW Nurses will undoubtedly become champions of wound care, ensuring a superior patient experience and expediting the healing process."
Bedsores, or pressure ulcers, present a major challenge for patients with limited mobility, causing discomfort and prolonging hospital stays. Research has indicated that bedsores increase the risk of severe infections and delay recovery.
Dr. Gaurav Thukral, Co-Founder and COO of HCAH, has emphasised, "Our aim is zero bed sores, and the introduction of ‘WOW Nurses’ is a key step towards this goal. This initiative enhances patient recovery, reduces complications, and improves comfort. Our recent study, published in the International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), showed that 64% of pressure ulcer cases were grade 2, with 62% of patients seeing significant improvement. These findings reinforce the importance of timely intervention, tailored care, and ongoing education in effectively managing pressure ulcers."
The WOW Nurses, certified in advanced wound care management, have been focusing on the latest techniques and best practices to ensure optimal patient recovery. HCAH has invested in international training to provide its nursing staff with cutting-edge knowledge and skills, which are crucial in preventing and managing bed sores.
Dr. Patrick Hunt, Director of Business Development at Aroa Biosurgery, has remarked, “We're proud to support HCAH Rehab & Recovery Centre's commitment to enhancing post-surgery care, especially for patients with bedsores. As exclusive partners in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, we recognize the importance of specialized training. We're pleased to support the certification program and provide expert-led sessions from New Zealand on using Endoform and Myriad. Our technology aims to reduce wound care time, cost, and effort, allowing nursing resources to be utilized more effectively."
HCAH continues to advance wound care through dedicated research, education, and training. The WOW Nurses programme represents a significant advancement, setting new standards and benchmarks in patient-centred healthcare and redefining care quality.
