CEBU CITY—The lone producer of surgical masks in the Philippines has committed to increase their production to cope with the demand for their product.
“They can commit to supply Philippines around 2 million pieces per month, until this quantity is needed. While they produce on a limited capacity , MedTecs is now airfreighting more machines to increase their production capacity,” Lopez said.The company, which has been operating in the country for 41 years, has recently donated around 500,000 surgical masks for the victims of the Taal volcano phreatic eruption that were distributed through the local government units.
The secretary noted that DTI has been looking into the possibility of other manufacturing companies, both local and foreign, that have capability to extend their operations to producing masks.
