The fight against shortage

The supply of protective masks and gowns to hospitals has caused a lot of ink to flow, but the bitter discussions and negotiations should not outshine the work of those who manufacture, transport and store this vital material.

It took more than 5 hours to unload the 14 trucks of material contained in this gigantic Antonov transporter.

The CHUV and the HUG store equipment for their use in a common platform located in Bussigny. One would think that 7 million masks would be enough for several months. But the stock would only last a few weeks!

In the eye of the storm

Four photographers from the CHUV received the mission to capture the way the health crisis was handled in the hospital centre from every possible angle. Here is a selection of their work, which is essentially a tribute to the thousands of professionals who have been doing their utmost for many months at the service of the population.
