NY health care leaders concerned about PPE shortages
Medical masks and gloves are becoming increasingly scarce and costly as COVID-19 cases surge, raising concerns among New York health care leaders striving to prevent a repeat of the protective gear shortages that fueled coronavirus infections this spring.
The supply chain gaps are most acute for thousands of independent doctors who struggle to compete with hospitals, nursing homes and government agencies that are scrambling to stockpile personal protective equipment, or PPE.
In fact, about one-third of physicians in New York say PPE access and affordability issues are impacting their ability to care for patients, according to new survey results obtained by USA TODAY Network New York.
