Fundraising for the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of health professionals at Hospital Pedro Hispano (Matosinhos)

Did you know that on April 5, 2020 there were already 1332 health professionals infected with COVID-19 in Portugal?

The lack of adequate equipment is one of the main reasons for infection by health professionals.

One of the fundamental equipments to protect doctors, nurses and medical assistants from being contaminated are head and neck protection masks.

Do you know what a COGULA is?

It is a disposable device used to protect the head and shoulders area.

In the intermediate and intensive care units of the Pedro Hispano Hospital, for the protection of health professionals who deal with COVID-19 patients on a daily basis, approximately 60 head and neck protection masks are needed, which can only be used once.

This crowdfunding is aimed at raising funds to purchase missing personal protective equipment for health professionals at Pedro Hispano Hospital, whose area of influence includes Matosinhos, Vila do Conde and Póvoa do Varzim, covering a total 320 thousand inhabitants.

What is the destination for your contribution?

All funds raised will be used for the purchase of personal protective equipment.

A contribution of 25 euros allows you to purchase head and neck masks to protect a health professional for about a week.

The health professionals at Hospital Pedro Hispano are grateful for your help!
