Protect Healthcare Workers
We’re months into the COVID-19 crisis, and health professionals in some areas of the country still lack the supplies they need to protect themselves and care for patients. That's why we're calling on Congress to immediately pass the Medical Supply Transparency and Delivery Act, which would establish a central, transparent system for procuring and distributing critical medical supplies directly to impacted areas.
As more states and cities “reopen” for business, health experts are warning there could be a spike in both cases and deaths caused by novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. Simultaneously, many hospitals still lack adequate supplies needed both to protect their staff and to treat and test patients. On Friday, U.S. PIRG, Get Us PPE and Doctors for America co-hosted a panel on which leading physicians and U.S. Rep. Andy Kim (N.J.) from the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis discussed how we can keep health care workers safe, so that they, in turn, can treat the general public.
