PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Health Ministry is encouraging various parties including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to donate personal protective equipment (PPE) for the use of frontline personnel treating Covid-19 patients.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the supply of PPE to protect frontline personnel was still needed as it was one of the disposable items used daily.
Dr Noor Hisham explained that PPE was used daily, in contrast to ventilators which were sufficient so far. Dr Noor Hisham said that in terms of PPE stock inspections, the ministry had a system that can look into the level of supply at the states, as well as in hospitals nationwide. "What is important is that we have to continue to procure the PPE. So far, we have enough to last for at least another two weeks, ” he said.
