Coronavirus: China donated 1.7 lakh PPE (personal protective equipment) to India this week (Archive)
New Delhi:
The government has ordered 1.7 million PPE (personal protective equipment) and 49,000 ventilators to help health workers and doctors in the fight against the new infectious coronavirus, the Health Ministry said today at its daily news conference.
Confirming that the supply of new PPE, fans and N95 face masks had already started, the ministry said there was no need to panic about the availability of PPE, but advised caution, noting that “not everyone needs PPE” and that issued guidelines on its “rational” use.
“The supplies of PPE, masks and fans have already started. 20 domestic manufacturers in India were contacted and PPE orders of Rp 1.7 million were placed. Supplies started. 49,000 fans were ordered,” said Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary (Health Ministry) said.
As national demand for PPE and essential medical equipment grows, Agarwal said the center was working to ensure the supply of essential medical equipment to states. However, he also urged states to “use them rationally.”
“There is a fear that everyone will need PPE. Everyone does not need PPE. A PPE is a mix of different components, such as boots, N95 masks, coveralls, and headgear. People at high risk should wear all of the components. For those with moderate risk and gloves are sufficient, “said the Joint Secretary.
“You should wear (PPE) as required … I can wear four N95 masks in one day or I can use only one in one day,” he added.
The shortage of protective equipment has left doctors and medical personnel concerned about their own lives and those of their families, as they treat more than 5,000 active coronavirus cases in the country.
Around 16 lakh N-95 masks are currently available, the Ministry of Health has said (File)
In Delhi alone, eight doctors, including one who is nine months pregnant, have been infected. So far, states have received far less PPE than requested; Bihar asked for five lakh but got 4,000.
According to a report by Reuters news agency, some doctors even turned to motorcycle raincoats and helmets as alternative PPE.
India received other 1.7-lakh PPE monkeys donated by China, where the COVID-19 outbreak originated in December last year, on Monday. Including this, there are almost four lakhs of PPE available in the country, the Ministry of Health said at the time.
On Wednesday, the center confirmed a fully funded five-year COVID-19 emergency package to finance, among other things, the purchase of EPP. These funds, separate from the State Fund for Disaster Risk Management (Rs 11,092 crore released this week), will be available in three phases.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health also advised caution in the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug that many believe is effective in the treatment of COVID-19, emphasizing that the drug should be used “according to the rules” and is intended to doctors and doctors. staff dealing with patients with coronavirus.
The ministry also warned that HCQ (hydroxychloroquine) “may not be good for heart patients.”
Hydroxychloroquine, currently being tested in 1,500 patients with COVID-19 in the US. UU., It was object of discussion between the president of the EE. Donald Trump and Prime Minister Modi this week, with the US warning. USA Of “retaliation” if India did not sanction the sale of the drug.
Among other points raised by the Ministry of Health in today’s briefing was the dispatch of 10 teams of new coronavirus specialists to nine states and that the Indian Railways had produced around six lakh reusable face masks and over 4,000 liters of disinfectant. for hands.
