Threats to PPE: supply and fraudulent products

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a light on personal protective equipment [PPE] like never before. Once simply part of the attire for those working in the healthcare industry; PPE is now part of every individuals’ daily routine. As such, the industry has struggled, and we’ve seen various issues come to light since the start of the pandemic. 

Since the start of the pandemic last year, there have been multiple issues for PPE supplies, including worldwide material shortages, factory closures, increased demand, and fraudulent products. These issues pose a threat to the supply of protective equipment and it’s therefore essential that healthcare organisations get on top of this now to ensure they’re able to continue protecting their staff and patients.
