The Greek proverb, “Necessity is the mother of invention,” aptly describes JMMB Group’s response to the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for the healthcare community, in light of the infectious novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  Thus far, JMMB has donated over 100 face shields to healthcare professionals at Kingston Public Hospital (KPH), with a target to donate a total of 500 to other hospitals, who are receptive to the public offer.
