Purchasing PPE for Ukraine
Personal Protection Equipment for Ukraine
Project: Supporting Ukrainian Mental Health during COVID – 2020/416-691
The COVID-19 pandemic has not passed Ukraine and although the figures are still lower than in some other countries, the pandemic is gathering speed and not under control. Internationally it is also clear that institutions where vulnerable people are living in close quarters, e.g. psychiatric hospitals, social care homes and nursing homes, are the worst affected. Also in Ukraine a growing number of institutions are affected and the number of cases is growing. Most institutions lack Personal Protection Equipment (PPE; e.g. masks, goggles, gloves, protective suits) and even methods to detect infection at an early stage e.g. hand-held thermometers. When the infection becomes noticeable it is already too late. The Federation Global Initiative on Psychiatry and the Ukrainian Psychiatric Association, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Policy, have established a distribution system has been set up that guarantees delivery to the destined institutions and prevents dislocation of the dispatched PPE.
