  • World Health Day 2021: St John at the forefront of global Covid-19 response

World Health Day 2021: St John at the forefront of global Covid-19 response

While in some parts of the world the pandemic is slowly declining and people are living the “new normal”, other countries see a surge in new cases and are currently facing a third wave, despite vaccination programmes being rolled out.

St John organisations continue to provide life-saving support to their communities in the fight against the worldwide pandemic. Below are only a few examples of how our volunteers, staff and members in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific respond to the pandemic.

  • St John England is a core partner to the NHS. The organisation onboarded more than 30,000 new volunteers to assist in vaccination roll out across the country.
  • St John Papua New Guinea is rapidly establishing a 296 bed Covid-19 isolation field hospital to provide isolating and caring facilities for positive cases.
  • St John Australia provides assistance at testing stations, specialist patient transport, temperature checking for major organisations, and transport services for other essential services.
  • St John Wales covered more than 212,000 miles delivering their Covid-related services, such as pharmacy prescriptions to vulnerable people, patient transport from and to hospitals, and support of the Welsh ambulance service.
  • The St John Eye Hospital is continuing to treat patient. The clinics are still seeing a drop in the number of patients, due to numerous lockdowns and restrictions, but St John is preparing for a backlog of patients as they exit the third lockdown.
  • St John New Zealand reached more than 30,000 individuals in isolation and has seen huge success with the Mental Health First Aid training.
  • St John Malaysia volunteers produced more than 300,000 face shields for frontline workers.
  • St John Canada is helping at isolation sites and at screening clinics, providing PPE and first aid to homeless people, delivering first aid and mental health training and supporting food delivery to isolating people.
