Face Protection Project
In times of global pandemic like Sars-Cov2, shortages of PPE and essential medical items are apparent. The scarcity has already been faced by many countries, even the most developed ones. Nepal is no different. The critical shortage of most needed items in the global market itself, has directly or indirectly forced innovators and local companies to make their own supplies for their livelihood as well as for crisis response. Protechnepal is an initiative to address such shortages for using local skills, resources and technology. The initiative was carried by a consortium of local design & manufacturing companies and humanitarian health workers.
