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!
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.
