WHI’s Covid-19 Response

WHI’s Covid-19 Response

We temporarily pivoted our focus to address the urgent PPE shortage at Wits-affiliated Hospitals. The PPE shortage was worsened by a disconnect between donors and COVID teams on the ground. WHI built relationships and streamlined the provision of resources to areas that needed them most. To date, WHI has orchestrated the donation of approximately 48 000 surgical masks, 6000 N95 masks, and 13000 bottles of hand sanitizer to four of Johannesburg’s largest public hospitals.
