For each RFP, we will provide the organization requesting for non-sterile medical gown PPE, quantity required, timeframe, 1-2 examples of the Latin American country/ies or organization/s recipient/s, and link to the RFPs. We will input the information in the shared spreadsheet that was cited in the section above.
