Code Grey Protocol
To safeguard healthcare workers and protect health institutions, the Health Department has introduced the Code Grey Protocol. This act establishes guidelines on law, order, and conduct concerning healthcare professionals, ensuring a safer and more secure working environment. By reviewing and cross-checking the existing Code Grey Protocol, the Health Department ensures its effectiveness in maintaining law, order, and the protection of healthcare workers and institutions.
The Code Grey Protocol was approved and subsequently published by the Hon’ble Minister Veena George at the end of the previous financial year. However, to ensure effective implementation at the operational level, institutions require clear directives and orders.
To facilitate this, the State Health Agency has assigned SHSRC-Kerala a set of key tasks, including:
Formation of a State-Level Resource Group
Development of a comprehensive training module
Implementation of the Code Grey Protocol at the hospital level
Creation of a toolkit, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), policy documents, and other necessary resources
In response to these directives, SHSRC-Kerala conducted a preliminary meeting on July 2, 2024. The meeting brought together representatives from the State Health Systems Resource Centre, State Health Agency, National Health Mission, and Aardram Mission. During the discussion, members of the State-Level Resource Group were identified to oversee the implementation of the Code Grey Protocol across the state.
Following the meeting, SHSRC-Kerala drafted a list of State-Level Resource Group members and provided necessary directions to ensure the protocol’s successful execution. This list of resource group has been submitted to the Minister’s office for review and approval.
