Irish building materials company Kingspan has donated a shipment of 60,000 medical protective suits to the HSE to help support the Irish healthcare system in its response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The shipment of personal protective equipment (PPE) was sourced through Kingspan's supply chain partners. The equipment, valued at around €1m, was delivered to the HSE's logistics hub in Clondalkin for distribution around the country's hospitals and healthcare facilities. The full-length medical protective suits are CE-certified to confirm they meet EU safety standards. This is Kingspan's second donation to the Irish healthcare system during the pandemic, following the company's distribution of 30,000 masks to the care home sector in April.
