US Government Invests in Medical Gown Stockpile
Six US companies will manufacture medical gowns for the Strategic National Stockpile, with a budget of at least $350 million.
This move comes years after doctors and nurses faced shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The purchase of the gowns is one of the final steps toward shoring up the personal protective equipment in the stockpile after it was depleted just weeks into the COVID pandemic.
According to assistant secretary Dawn O’Connell, the new gowns are part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response's efforts to restock emergency supplies.
