KRUGER, Annelet; EALES, Owen O. e VAN VUUREN, Sanet Jansen. The contribution of family physicians to residential mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tshwane District, South Africa. Afr. j. prim. health care fam. med. (Online) [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2071-2936. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/phcfm.v13i1.3045.
During the start of the first wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, two family physicians in Tshwane, South Africa, reviewed the people at high-risk within their Health Catchment Area. The largest residential mental health care facility in Gauteng fell under their care, and they were responsible for providing care and support to this facility. Family physicians have to lead the primary care team and simultaneously take care of the well-being of their team members. This report discusses how these family physicians used digital platforms and virtual care to successfully coordinate and manage the response to an outbreak of COVID-19 at this mental healthcare facility.
