The Intl. WeLoveU Foundation provided face masks to the El Salvador Ministry of Health
for medical staff at national hospitals who are on the front lines of responding to COVID-19.

National hospitals have many visitors because their medical expenses are lower than those of general hospitals. However, it is said numerous patients are seen wearing masks with insufficient antiviral protection during their visits, and hospitals are experiencing a shortage of appropriate pandemic masks. This places medical staff at a heightened risk of exposure to infections.

As the number of confirmed cases among medical staff increased, WeLoveU has decided to provide masks to ensure they can work in a safer environment. On April 20, a delivery ceremony was held at the Hospital Nacional Maria Isabel Rodriguez, where 17,000 masks were donated to the Ministry of Health. The masks will be delivered to about 800 medical staff in San Salvador, including the Hospital Nacional Maria Isabel Rodriguez.

“Many women in San Salvador come to our hospital. There are many suspected COVID-19 patients, but we have no choice but to wear masks always because we cannot know who is confirmed. Masks are essential items for the health of both medical staff and patients.”
