New process to manage and distribute PPE
The Government of PEI is making every effort to secure and allocate the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies. These efforts will supplement traditional procurement practices.
To help manage, plan for and allocate PPE, effective this week, the Department of Health and Wellness is asking
physicians who would normally purchase their own medical supplies
to:
#1. Submit requests for PPE supplies if required

Requests for supplies will be assessed and distributed on a weekly business cycle. More information on the process is available in the supporting documents below.
#2. Provide weekly updates on your PPE inventory
Deadline Weekly – Friday Noon
Physicians who normally purchase their own medical supplies are encouraged to continue to try to secure equipment through their normal channels, if possible.
