Personal Protective Equipment for healthcare workers is “specialized clothing or equipment worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials.”

This protective equipment helps to prevent human contact with the virus by creating a physical barrier between the worker and a patient, surface or the air. The shortfall in PPE caused by COVID-19 is staggering. Numbers range in the billions worldwide. Our frontline healthcare workers provide life-saving care for us, let’s work together to provide lifesaving equipment for them.
