The new crown pneumonia epidemic came fiercely last year, and there was a shortage of masks around the world.
Due to the tight supply of N95 masks at the time, the Hospital Authority spent about 163 million yuan to purchase locally made NASK nanofiber masks. However, medical staff later discovered that the quality of the nanomasks was poor, with broken ropes, perforated ports, and stains on the masks. .
The Hospital Authority stated that the relevant batches had been recalled and returned to the supplier. Initially, it believed that the incident was related to inadequate quality control procedures. The supplier was required to submit samples of each batch for inspection by the Hospital Authority.
