Implementing decisions when it matters most is more daunting than the task of taking decisions itself, particularly when it is a major public sector undertaking such as NTPC. While the decision to airlift its COVID-affected and seriously-ill employees from a smaller hospital, whether in-house or outside, to a super speciality hospital elsewhere is bold, making arrangements for airlifting, treatment, monitoring the treatment, taking care of attendants in a place faraway from the patient’s (employee) place of work needs an extra mile of effort. Explaining the teamwork behind the airlifting of seriously-ill COVID patients and following-up their treatment, Executive Director (Southern Region) C.V. Anand told The Hindu that they have formed a task force working 24×7 in Hyderabad to handle such critically-ill cases in coordination with the Corporate Office in Delhi, who are in constant interaction over a dedicated WhatsApp group.More Related News
