The high demand for Ebola personal protective equipment (PPE), - TopicsExpress



          

The high demand for Ebola personal protective equipment (PPE), especially protective suits, in the United States is triggering shortages for the response in West Africa and raising its price, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. It said US hospitals and a big government purchase to shore up the US national stockpile are part of the reason. One of the PPE makers, DuPont, told the newspaper it has had to prioritize those who have direct contact with Ebola patients, and Doctors without Borders (MSF) said it has had to sell some of its PPE stockpile to other aid groups.
