The results
In the end, a really great concept was able to prevail: Protective masks made of conventional coffee filters, which offer the same protection as professional masks.
The self-developed masks are going to go to the developing country Ethiopia, in order to help the people there in their fight against the corona virus.
What could we contribute to it?
As a partner and sponsor of the GHC, the Medi-Globe Group decided to donate to the mentioned project, so that basic medical equipment, such as face-protection-masks, can also be provided in developing countries.
The project “Masks for Ethiopia” has already been launched. In the meantime, half a million face masks have been developed and shipped, thanks to our donation. The masks will be fully assembled in the coming weeks and will then be handed over to the national Ministry of Health in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for corona control.
