Many hospitals, nursing homes and medical practices currently lack the necessary protective equipment. Even though the number of cases in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is currently still low, the company Weber Maschinenbau in Neubrandenburg received a call for help on Monday from an anesthesiologist at the DRK hospital in Neustrelitz. Protective masks are urgently needed for the daily work of doctors and medical staff here - and only 50 are still available. The purchasing department at the Weber site in Neubrandenburg reacted immediately and checked the current stock. The pleasing conclusion: the warehouse counted a total of 600 valuable FFP3 protective masks.
"When the call for help came, it was immediately clear to us: If we can help, we will help. Therefore we really donated our entire stock and are pleased that we were able to make an important contribution," comments Robert Schwabe, authorized signatory and head of purchasing at Weber, on the decision. Normally, the protective masks are used in the sheet metal construction department of the machine manufacturer. For the employees in this department, too, the support of the donation was not even up for discussion for a second; the collective "Go" was given immediately. So that the protective masks can save lives in the context of medical work.
