New Delhi: India is now producung three lakh units each of PPEs and N95 masks every day and their quality is being ensured through stringent protocols, the Union Health Ministry said on Monday.
“There are some reports in a section of the media expressing concern about the quality of personal protective equipment (PPE) coveralls,” the ministry said. It clarified that the products referred to in the reports have no relevance to the procurement being made by the central government.
Hospitals and healthcare organisations under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare procure equipment from HLL Lifecare.
The PPE coveralls are being procured from manufacturers or suppliers only after getting them tested and approved by one of the eight labs nominated by the Ministry of Textiles (MoT), said the ministry.
