Prevent Medical companies from charging extortionate prices on PPEs
In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, it is absolutely wrong for any medical company to charge extortionate fees/prices for PPEs. We have to support all healthcare providers to be able to supply appropriate PPEs to their staff to ensure seamless care provision to care for the most vulnerable.
Healthcare professionals are already on their knees fighting for the most vulnerable. We are risking our own life and leaving our families to render care to the general public.
We need to be supported to be equipped with the right PPE to be able to do what we do best without fear and minimising our risk in the field.
