• The ‘WOW Nurses’ initiative marks a significant leap forward, redefining care standards and setting new benchmarks for patient-centered healthcare

• The WOW Nurses ensure patients receive optimal wound care, facilitating a faster & more comfortable recovery journey

September 2024: HCAH, a leading provider of comprehensive out-of-hospital healthcare solutions in India, has taken a significant step towards promoting rapid patient recovery with the introduction of a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing healing processes. Recognizing the detrimental impact of bedsores on recovery timelines, HCAH has partnered with Aroa Biosurgery New Zealand to further strengthen its commitment to patient care excellence.

Aroa Biosurgery is a renowned soft-tissue regeneration company that develops, manufactures, and distributes medical and surgical products to improve healing in complex wounds and soft tissue reconstruction. Aroa Biosurgery is introducing new product lines specifically designed to address complex vascular and diabetic wounds, offering advanced solutions that enhance healing and significantly improve patient recovery.

As part of this partnership, HCAH has launched the “WOW (Warriors of Woundcare) Nurses” program aimed at preventing and effectively treating bedsores.

“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.” remarks Vivek Srivastava, Founder & CEO of HCAH.

Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers, are a common challenge for patients confined to beds or with limited mobility. These painful wounds not only hinder recovery but also lead to significant discomfort. Research reveals that bedsores prolong hospital stays and elevate the risk of severe infections.

“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.” says Dr. Gaurav Thukral, Co-Founder and COO of HCAH.

The WOW Nurses, certified in advanced wound care management, will focus on proactively preventing and treating bedsores using the latest techniques and best practices to ensure optimal patient recovery.

By investing in specialized international training for its nursing staff, HCAH is taking a critical step to accelerate patient recovery. This comprehensive curriculum focuses on the latest wound care techniques, a crucial element in preventing bed sores. Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, can significantly slow the recovery process and increase complications. Equipping nurses with the most up-to-date knowledge ensures patients receive the highest quality care, leading to faster recovery times and improved outcomes.

“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.” says Dr. Patrick Hunt, Director of Business Development at Aroa Biosurgery.

HCAH remains committed to advancing wound care through ongoing research, education, and training.

The ‘WOW Nurses’ initiative marks a significant leap forward, redefining care standards and setting new benchmarks for patient-centered healthcare. The WOW Nurses ensure patients receive optimal wound care, facilitating a faster and more comfortable recovery journey.
