Guest Chair: Rajiv Mathur – Regional Advisor, Asia, The OSPAs (India)

Pandemics generally, and Covid-19 is no exception, throw everyone involved in any aspect of healthcare provision onto the frontline. In previous webinars we have heard how this causes difficulties for groups like security who have an important role in protecting healthcare assets when the focus is understandably on patient care. The notion that security is everyone’s responsibility is undermined by a bigger focus; and as we have heard this provides ripe targets for offenders who are typically quick to adapt. The availability of Government funding (in some countries at least) for healthcare products, rushed through because of the demands for an urgent need to protect people and rarely with the normal and required level of due diligence is providing offenders with more easy targets. This webinar will discuss:

- The range of new and different problems that healthcare management & security professionals have faced during the crisis
- The relationship between security professionals and others during the crisis and the changes and opportunities resulting
-  The roles of healthcare security professional as we transition to the new normal

Panellists:
Anil Puri – Chairman & Managing Director, A P Securitas
Dr. Parinita Kaur – Consultant – Internal Medicine, Aakash Healthcare Super Speciality Hospital
Rajesh Sawant – Head of Security, Surveillance and Fire Safety at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital
