The Office of the Vice President (OVP) with its partner
donors distributed much needed personal protective equipment (PPE) sets to
nearly 500 health workers in eight Metro Manila hospitals.
“Frontliners” such as Doctors, nurses and medical staff have
been working tirelessly to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus 2019
disease or COVID-19, since the country first detected a case last January.
The lack of PPE’s that protects health workers is putting
their lives at risk.
