The necessities of supplies continue to change depending on the situation. In order to cure and survive, we will provide medical supplies required by the medical field.
3. Process
The number of confirmed patients at the Mungyeong Third Life Treatment Facility fell(decreased) sharply in April. Therefore, medical staffs said "PAPR (Powered Powered Air Purify Respirator Personal Protective Equipment) is enough".
Instead, if medical masks (N-95 and splash masks) are needed, the following sponsorship was given to Seoul National University Hospital, which operates the Mungyeong Third Life Treatment Facility.
Since the end of May, the number of confirmed persons has increased again. In this situation, it was important to screening the COVID-19 cofirmed.
