CORONAVIRUS | A doctor has taken to Twitter to share how Covid-19 frontliners are using personal protective equipment (PPE) that have been made by volunteers using donated materials.
Hospital Kuala Lumpur director Dr Herric Corray was also previously seen helping fashion the equipment.
In a series of posts last night, a doctor who identifies himself as “Azman Rocks” on Twitter shared a photograph of hospital staff suited up in PPE.
“Every single PPE you see in this picture (except the mask) was made using non-woven fabric that was donated and made by volunteers.
“Truly blessed and proud to live among people with (a) sense of charity close to their hearts. Thank you,” he said.

Azman explained that the 6km-worth of fabric had been donated by a fabric manufacturer for volunteers to make into 1,500 sets of PPE.
A PPE kit can include a full body suit, gloves, shoe covers and face shields.
“6km sounds a lot but that translates to 1,500 sets of PPE. That would last us (just the emergency department) about 10 days,” he said.
Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah previously said that there was no shortage of PPE but distribution issues persisted.
This came after KPJ Damansara Specialist Centre’s Dr Musa Nordin pointed out that medical staff were running low on PPE kits and thus faced the risk of Covid-19 exposure. - Mkini
