Sentry Medical have been in collaboration with NSW Health to provide over 100 million masks dedicated for NSW health workers.

Praise goes to management within NSW Health for forward planning as further restrictions take place today, and staff within NSW hospitals required to wear a mask if within 1.5 meters of patients.

Australian-owned company, Sentry Medical, were able to commit to such a large supply due to its business concentrating on local provisions rather than sending goods off-shore.

This shows the importance of Australian owned businesses being able to put our country’s needs first during critical times,” said Eric Wai, Managing Director, Sentry Medical. “Although we have had an influx in global interest in our products, especially PPE, we have definitely made the right choice in looking after our own as a priority.

Above the NSW mask supply, Sentry have been able to assist in provisions of other crucial PPE equipment for government health departments on a national level.

As well as New South Wales, we’ve been working with both Queensland Health and SA Health in providing hospital grade masks, gowns, headwear and footwear,” said Mr Wai. “It’s rewarding to see Sentry Medical doing their part in helping our nation through this COVID-19 period.
