Procure4Health challenges the market to develop an innovative solution to implement a sustainable and effective pathogen protective system in the healthcare context that can replace single use face masks. The current use of single-use face masks in healthcare settings has brought to light a pressing concern: their lack of sustainability across various dimensions.

Beyond their immediate utility in combating infectious diseases, these masks symbolize broader challenges at the intersection of economics, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. The complexities of their production, importation, and disposal have made it evident that the current practices surrounding single-use face masks demand critical examination and strategic reevaluation.

In this context, Procure4Health is seeking the implementation of a sustainable and effective pathogen protective system that can replace single use face masks and significantly contribute to waste reduction, environmental sustainability, cost savings, and improved public health outcomes.
