Donations are pouring in, including from overseas, after the organization representing primary care providers in the South Okanagan issued a public appeal for personal protective equipment (PPE).
The medical supplies offer critical protection for frontline healthcare workers responding to the deadly novel coronavirus outbreak, and PPE is in short supply due to global demand.
Graham Setters is a Penticton native who now runs an international school in China. He worked with students and staff at the Sino-Canada high school, a private boarding school near Shanghai, to collect and donate 200 N95 medical masks to South Okanagan doctors.
