SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Nov 9 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Health Area of ​​La Palma, attached to the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, is in charge of coordinating the distribution between the population affected and not affected by the volcanic eruption on the Island of new shipments of protection material that various organizations, entities, companies and individuals have sent to La Palma.

Since October 15 and to date, 9,067 protective glasses, 651,000 FPP2 masks, 341,960 FPP3 masks and 18,500 children’s masks have been received, as well as 13,840 doses of eye drops. As up to now, the distribution will be made between the municipalities directly affected by the eruption and other public administrations, as well as the health and non-health personnel of the La Palma Health Area.

This distributed material comes from donations made by, among other entities and public bodies, the Spanish College of Nursing, the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital, Esteve Pharmaceuticals, Aernnova AeroSpace, Cahnos, Horus Pharma and Phama-Ingesa.

These donations are in addition to those made previously by other entities such as the Ministry of Health, the Canarian Health Service, the Official College of Nursing of Madrid, the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, ​​the Pharmaceutical Cooperative of Tenerife and private laboratories, as well as companies. and private persons.

The director of the Health Area of ​​La Palma, Kilian Sánchez, and the manager of the Health Services of La Palma, Mercedes Coello, reiterated their gratitude to the solidarity of all the entities and people involved in these donations, which show the closeness to all the palm tree population that is being affected by this eruptive process. They also recalled the importance of maintaining protective measures against the negative effects that the ash and gases from the volcano may have on the health of the population.

Faced with the eruptive process that is being experienced in La Palma, the General Directorate of Public Health of the Canary Health Service reminds the population of the need to take health protection measures against exposure to volcanic emanations and as long as this situation persists the stay of people in the open air should be limited to what is strictly essential.

People who must remain in an area exposed to ash during the volcano’s eruptive process must adopt individual protection measures: FFP2 mask, protective glasses and the skin fully covered with a long-sleeved shirt, pants and a cap.

Children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with lung or heart disease are those at the highest risk and those who must exercise extreme compliance with the measures to protect their health.
