Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Pakistani medical frontline staff are inadequate and inconsistent across the country.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) PPE guidelines for doctors and nurses caring for COVID-19 patients say all staff should be provided with:

Medical mask
Gown
Gloves
Eye protection (goggles or face shield). 
But the Government is ignoring this.

The tests currently take up to 72 hours.Many staff come into contact with patients awaiting their results. it’s not enough to only give PPE to staff treating those who test positive.

Please sign to add pressure on the Pakistan Government to ensure PPE is in place NOW in all places where it is needed.

Thank you for your support.
