Avignon University donates protective equipment to carers

On 20 March, all the departments and research laboratories of Avignon Université's UFR Sciences donated 10,000 single-use gloves, 250 masks and 250 gowns from their stocks to the Hôpital d'Avignon. The Dean of the UFR Sciences, Christophe Emblanch, made the delivery himself to the emergency department.

The IUT also contributed to the gestures of solidarity towards carers by donating 9 boxes of 50 gowns, around 50 capes, around 15 pairs of glasses and boxes of gloves.

The donations were distributed to the neonatal unit at Avignon hospital and to private nurses.
