: The Health Ministry is still encouraging various parties including non-governmental organisations to donate personal protective equipment for the use of frontline personnel treating Covid-19 patients.
“The use of PPE has risen by two to 10 times more than the normal consumption,” he told the media during his daily Covid-19 national update here today in response to the issue of PPE supply shortage. “We have enough ventilators, there are 956 units, and there is no need for more ventilators. But not so with the PPE, if NGOs want to donate, please donate PPE to us . We are still welcoming PPE donations,” he said.
He said the acquisition of the PPE is via three ways, namely in bulk by central procurement or at the state level and donations from NGOs.
