College principal Dr. Linette J Morris, acknowledged receiving the letter and discussed the practicalities involved. She explained that wearing long sleeves and hoods might not be feasible in the long run due to the need for proper scrubbing procedures and adherence to universal standards for maintaining a sterile environment.
Dr. Morris emphasised the importance of patient safety and stated that a committee comprising surgeons and infection control experts would be convened to address the matter and consider both perspectives.
