PPE delivered to Hospital Cristo Redentor

Marau is the first city in Rio Grande do Sul to receive donations from BRF, one of the largest food companies in the world, to help fight the Coronavirus. The company sent 350 disposable surgical aprons and 350 plastic capes to Hospital Cristo Redentor, to be added up to the personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by the medical teams.

This is part of the BRL 50 million announced last week by BRF to be donated as food, medical supplies and support to research and social development funds to help fight the impacts of the pandemic. The donations are earmarked for hospitals, Santa Casa clinics, social assistance organizations and health professionals based in the states and cities where the company has operations.

Altogether, in hospitals alone, including field hospitals, donations are expected to benefit more than 15,000 people/day, with nearly 2.5 million meals served for the next three months. As a global company, BRF will extend this initiative to countries where it owns production plants, such as Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
