Lenmed witnesses a sustained decline in Covid-19 cases 

 29 January 2021

The Lenmed Group has noted a strong and sustained decline in Covid-19 admissions over the past weeks. This, coupled with the national statistics, confirms that the country is over the second wave peak. 

This is according to Michelle Naidoo, the Group Marketing Manager.

Ms Naidoo said that over the past few months, Lenmed had experienced the detrimental effect delayed treatment had had on community members. She said that the sooner a condition can be treated, the better the outcome. Lenmed appealed to communities not to wait in seeking medical care. 

“The safety of our patients, employees, doctors and community members remains our collective priority and responsibility. The Group continues to ensure all safety protocols are in place, the availability of PPE of the requisite quality and the constant reinforcement of infection prevention protocols throughout facilities.

“All of this is carefully implemented and monitored while always ensuring the Lenmed spirit of warmth and compassion permeates all that we do. Similarly, we appeal to everyone to continue to diligently adhere to all Covid-19 safety protocols, such as correctly wearing a mask, practising consistent hand hygiene and being aware of social distancing,” stated Ms Naidoo. 

Ms Naidoo added that further hopeful news is the arrival of the first batch of Covid-19 vaccine in the country. This batch will serve to immunise the deserving healthcare workers.

“The Lenmed team will endeavour to keep our communities up to date with information pertaining to the vaccine as and when we receive it. Please follow us on social media and check-in on our website at www.lenmed.com,” concluded Ms Naidoo.
