UOttawa Medical Students Sourcing PPE
451 Smyth road Ottawa, ON, Canada

A recent CMA survey revealed that 1/3 of physician respondents from community practices reported having two days or less of PPE, or had already run out. The survey also showed that the PPE shortage is causing significant anxiety for Canadian physicians. We still need your help in this fight! Please visit uottawappe.ca to donate . .... . . . . . . .

Here’s a message from one of our founders, Ethan, who speaks on the collective effort of our community in sourcing thousands of PPE items! All contributions, no matter how small, have helped us make an impact, and we are so thankful!

We would like to highlight the incredible efforts of our fellow uOttawa medical students today, who raised almost $15,000 that will be combined with other PPE fundraisers across Canada to produce PPE for our country’s healthcare workers! Their dedicated supplier will produce N95 respirators, surgical masks and gowns and the supplies will be distributed in a need-based fashion! #strongertogether .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ppe #covid19 #healthcareworkers #ppedrive #ppeforhcps #donate #frontlineworkers #stayhome #protectourhealthcareworkers #socialdistancing #medicalstudent #md #nurses #frontline #uottawamed #uottawa #volunteer #masks #health #staysafe #covidkindness
