Chubb has made a $1.7 million donation to International Medical Corps to provide surge support to strengthen hospital capacity during the outbreak. Chubb’s support, which is focused on hot-spot and low-resource areas, will help provide medical supplies and equipment and clinical staffing support to health facilities in need. International Medical Corps is deploying emergency medical field units and has activated its volunteer roster of nearly 300 medical professionals, who are deploying to hospitals. International Medical Corps is also leveraging its global supply chain and procurement team to send critically needed medical supplies, including personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical equipment, to hospitals and for health workers in need.
