"A garment factory in Yangon has been producing disposable surgical gowns to cope with the increasing demands at local hospitals in Myanmar. "We started this to make some donations on our own to the hospitals in need since the Thingyan Water Festival holidays early April, and later we run as a social business which help donors engage with the hospitals through online social media page," Hnin Thet Mon, owner of the factory named Shwe See Sar, told Xinhua recently. "We do this to support local medical staffs as surgical gowns are needed in their daily routines when treating non-infected patients at this critical time," she said. Running with at least 40 staff at present, the factory has daily production capacity of 1,400 non-woven fabric surgical gowns at prices of 1,500 kyats (over 1 U.S. dollars) each. "We target to make 15,000 gowns as the first batch of our production and we have bought enough materials for them from the local market. But, we can't guess how many we can produce next as we have some difficulties buying materials from abroad," the owner said. Local medical staff have been working on the frontlines to combat COVID-19 pandemic since the disease was first detected in the country on March 23..."
