When patients enter a medical facility, they receive care not just from the medical staff but from a group of dynamic Hospital Attendants who provide individualized support for various essential and daily activities crucial to patient recovery. Hospital Attendants are responsible for helping patients with their personal hygiene, providing comfort, and moving them as needed within the healthcare facility. They make notable contributions to the healthcare enterprise even though the care they offer is not always medical.
With advancements in technology, Hospital Attendants are being replaced by ‘Companion Robots’ with pleasant faces and fairly natural human voices to assist patients and even offer “emotional support”.
