Pakistani designer Asim Jofa has prepared a prototype of protective gear for doctors in a bid to address the shortage of specialized wear for medical staff treating coronavirus patients in Pakistan.
These protective gears are essential for doctors and paramedic staff to wear before treating coronavirus patients to protect themselves from being affected by the virus. However, as coronavirus cases are accelerating in Pakistan, the shortage of protective gears endangers the lives of front line doctors and paramedic staff.
With all your love and support we have finally started the production of our protective gears for healthcare workers by getting them approved by esteemed team of Dr. Seemin Jamali, Executive Director at JPMC.#AsimJofaCares #Fightback #KeepsupportingAJ #Inittogether #Changemakers pic.twitter.com/yztkWIScJT
