As of April 1, 2020
Health Care Providers - physicians, nurses and other paramedical staff
Safety of Health Care Providers – not being infected, not dying of COVID19 infection
Best strategies – mindfulness and vigilance and learning from others; protective personal equipment; and safe care for self when managing patients.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) - protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from COVID19 infection.
Challenges of PPE – shortage of supplies and no or inadequate funds to buy
Health care institutions needing PPE – rural health units, infirmaries and hospitals
First line of defense in terms of health institutions controlling COVID19 pandemic = FIRST LINE – rural health units; LAST LINE - hospitals
Degree of inadequacies of PPE in health care institutions from highest to lowest: rural health units; infirmaries; provincial government hospitals outside metrocities; government hospitals in metrocities; private hospitals
Health care institutions needing the greatest PPE donations: rural health units, infirmaries and provincial government hospitals outside metrocities
This situational analysis led me to embark on the following projects as my contribution to the fight against the COVID19 pandemic in the Philippines with the help of donors (friends and patients) [ROJDonors].
ROJDonors-MuRelief-HelpThru Against COVID19 for Rural Health Units (inclusive of infirmaries)

Collaborating with HelpThru.Phi who will buy, package, and deliver the PPE to the selected rural health units and provincial government hospitals.
Channel your donations to HelpThru.Phi, either in cash or in kinds.
After donating through bank, scan or screenshot the deposit slip that should contain clearly your name and REYNALDO O. JOSON (for tracing and accounting purpose).
