The DOH on Tuesday defended its purchase of 1 million sets of personal protective equipment (PPEs), valued at P1.8 billion, for health frontliners in the nation’s battle against COVID-19. | DYGalvezINQ

“Ang set na prinocure namin ay pinakakumpleto, may walo na PPE type sa loob ng sets na sinasabi natin,” she added.

She also noted that a PPE prescribed for health workers in the intensive care unit is different from PPEs used by those who conduct contact tracing of patients. The Health official nevertheless assured that all PPEs bought by DOH underwent the proper procurement process through the procurement service of the Department of Budget and Management.

As of Monday, DOH has distributed PPEs for 14 hospitals nationwide. The first batch of 200,000 PPE sets is expected to be delivered from April 1 to 6 while the second batch of 700,000 sets will be delivered between April 6 and 24. Senator Grace Poe earlier questioned DOH’s purchase of “overpriced” PPEs since it would amount to P1,800 each, asserting its market value only ranges from P400 to P1,000.

DYGalvezINQ According to a reliable source, FLs PPE are different compared sa basic PPE. The amount she gave me is PhP1300 for the full PPE circa 2013 pa. Pero let’s be vigilant. Magmatyag if our FLs will receive the high quality and complete set they deserve.
