Nikita Mirzani Reveals the Struggles of Medical Personnel When Using PPE, Holding Urine and Eating

Kapanlagi.com - Nikita Mirzani is known to have provided assistance to several hospitals and other affected parties due to the coronavirus. She donated personal protective equipment (PPE) to several hospitals in Jakarta. According to her, the assistance was well received by the hospitals and medical personnel who are working to combat the COVID-19 outbreak.

"Thank you for accepting the assistance, yesterday the doctors used the PPE, meaning that what Niki did has a positive impact on many people," said Niki when met at the South Jakarta District Court on Monday (30/3/2020).

1. The Struggle of Wearing PPE

Niki also asked about how it feels to wear PPE. It turns out that when wearing PPE or hazmat suits, medical personnel have to hold their urine and hunger. This is because the suits can only be worn once. Therefore, they cannot easily take them off.

"I asked the doctor, 'how does it feel to wear PPE?' and he said, 'it's hot, you have to hold your urine and hunger'. It turns out that PPE suits are disposable, once you take them off, you have to throw them away," she added.

2. Food Aid

Not only that, Niki also donated food aid to underprivileged families affected by the coronavirus. So far, she has distributed this assistance to 500 households. According to her, the most affected by this global pandemic are the less fortunate in society.

"This is for the less fortunate, because they are the ones most affected, like online motorcycle taxi drivers. It turns out that many people have been suddenly laid off due to the coronavirus, so I help as much as I can by providing food aid," she continued.
