Fundraising to acquire personal protective equipment (PPE) for health professionals, by Hospital São Sebastião in Santa Maria da Feira, essential to ensure the safety of health professionals

When we became aware of the lack of PPE at Hospital São Sebastião, some of our volunteers immediately started thinking about doing something to help.

We know that this may be just a drop in the ocean, given the situation that our country is currently facing. But still, we feel the responsibility to continue our mission to help others. We feel that it’s not enough to stay at home, that it’s not enough to clap our hands to honor the professionals and that it’s not enough to show drawings on the windows of our houses! We want to go further…

We are also aware of the growing wave of scams and misuse of donations and, therefore, we want to make it clear that ALL funds raised will be transferred directly to the Centro Hospitalar Entre Douro e Vouga’ IBAN, as agreed with the Director. He has already expressed his concern, referring that “the SNS’s hospitals are facing a very delicate moment, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and the dimensions that it has been experiencing.”

This situation has led to a demand for a set of resources that, under normal conditions, had much lower consumption. This being a situation not only in Portugal, but worldwide, there is a huge lack of many of these resources. These include personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers, something of crucial importance when dealing with a disease with a high risk of transmission. We must not forget that the contamination of health professionals decreases the effectiveness in follow-up and treatment of the patients.

In this respect, and in the words of the Chairman of the Board at CHEDV - Miguel Paiva: “all the help we can get is very important and, therefore, I thank the generosity of all those who have approached us, expressing support at the most different levels."

Will you help us?

About the author

Casa Fiz do Mundo - São Tomé, is a missionary group from the parishes of Carregosa, Chave and Vila Cova de Perrinho and has been helping the Franciscan Sisters in São Tomé and Príncipe.

As we have always said, our mission is here in Portugal, and with this viral threat we decided to launch a campaign to help those who care for us in these and so many other moments.

Budget and due dates

We propose the symbolic amount of 2000 €, but we aim that it surpass this amount, since the equipment is expensive and in this "war" all the help may be little, but it will be essential.

PPL is not charging any fees for this campaign except for the payment costs

    mensagem do presidente do conselho de administração do CHEDV

    Foi com enorme alegria que tomei conhecimento da iniciativa do lançamento de um crowdfunding para apoiar o CHEDV, logo que fomos confrontados com a necessidade de darmos resposta às necessidades da população no combate ao Covid-19. O período que temos vividos nas últimas semanas tem sido de grande esforço por parte dos profissionais desta instituição, pois fomos chamados a enfrentar uma doença desconhecido, muito agressiva e que tantas vidas tem ceifado por todo o mundo. Estes gestos generosos têm para nós um enorme significado, pois demonstram que não estamos sós nesta luta. Significam que temos a comunidade ao nosso lado, como temos sentido de forma muito expressiva. Quero, por isso mesmo, expressar-lhe os nossos agradecimentos, pedindo que os faça chegar a todas as pessoas que se envolveram neste projecto.
    Com os melhores cumprimentos
    Miguel Paiva
    Presidente do Conselho de Administração
