At Chits, we are lucky to have access to some of the leading healthcare professionals in the country who are all currently doing their bit to help the country through this crisis. Here, we explore the work a leading bariatric surgeon did to source Burberry gowns for St Mary’s hospital.

Dr Sanjay Purkayastha, a leading Senior Clinical Lecturer in Bariatric Surgery at Imperial College London recently acted upon a shortage of PPE at St Mary’s hospital by teaming up with Burberry to provide surgical gowns. Following some testing and review, the 2000+ gowns were certified for use and distributed across staff members at St Mary’s.
