Australian Doctors for Africa recently provided a large quantity of PPE to Endoscopy Units at five hospitals in Madagascar. Supplies included 4,800 face masks, 35,000 gloves, 350 Tyvec jumpsuits and 40 face shields, which will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 amongst healthcare workers.
These supplies were purchased in-country, and we thank our staff in Madagascar, Hanitra and Lucile, for arranging distribution to and receipts and photos from the hospitals.
“I have received the packages you sent for the Befelatanana Gastro-Enterology team. I would like to thank the entire ADFA team for this special attention, especially during this difficult time.” Prof Rado Ramanampamonjy, Head of Department.
