Medical frontlines from Medical City Manila ready to fight COVID-19 in their PPE outfits from SM Foundation |
The initiative is to help ensure that Healthcare workers in hospitals nationwide are armored with personal protective equipment (PPEs) - full protective suits (including for ICU use), face shields, gloves, N95 masks, surgical masks, goggles, and including raincoats as requested by some hospitals as back-up alternatives.
Testing is made more widely available, by supporting and donating the local Manila Healthtek test kits developed by the UP-NIH team (upon DOH approval), providing the testing needs of RITM, and donating FDA-approved PCR kits sourced from Korea, and by providing ICU-grade ventilators to help hospitals manage patients with severe cases.
