Student volunteers help increase PPE distribution to hospitals and clinics across Northern Ontario
Posted on April 8, 2020Over 100 student volunteers from NOSM, Lakehead University and Laurentian University are working together to collect and redistribute existing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to those who need it most. In addition, they’re producing and distributing face shields via 3D printing and laser cutting.
The volunteers are in over 30 communities across the North, and have developed this effort in conjunction with the Ontario Medical Association and the Ontario Medical Student Association.
