India continues to see a shortfall in the availability of personal protection equipment (PPE) for healthcare even as the government significantly ramps up domestic production. India has ordered some kits from China too. Many kits made in China were found unusable because they failed safety checks. As per the reports, of 170,000 PPE kits that arrived in India on April 5, about 50,000 failed quality tests.
