Wiley - Public Health Challenges Publication - Mar 2023 Unprecedented global surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed existing supply chains. Tracking unmet PPE demand is necessary to triage distribution to facilities in greatest need and to guide policy. To facilitate large scale data-driven distribution of PPE donations, GetUsPPE collected supply remaining and demand data from facilities since March 2020. Here, we update findings published in May 2020 and report new data collected through March 2021 about PPE needs and facility characteristics
All data in this study was queried on 4/24/2021 from the GetUsPPE Gateway database. The SQL queries used can be found here. CSV Data outputs of these queries can be found here
This work is the culmination of over 200 individuals who contributed to data collection and developed the GetUsPPE database.
