Covid-19 Relief

Disaster Relief

In Brief

During the Covid-19 pandemic, every aspect of Direct Relief’s organizational capacity was devoted to the coronavirus response.

The organization leveraged its global distribution infrastructure and financial resources to aid in the response.

Direct Relief provided and continues to provide emergency medical resources—vaccines, antibody therapies, PPE, medical-grade oxygen, and other critical items—to medical facilities across the U.S. and world.

MATERIAL RESOURCES. FINANCIAL RESOURCES. INFORMATION RESOURCES

Expanding Covid-19 Vaccine Access:

As a registered charity in both the United States and Mexico, Direct Relief is uniquely able to arrange the cross-border donation of cold chain medications.

The organization has commercial-grade licensing and infrastructure for pharmaceutical distribution and is able to safely and effectively transport medications that must be refrigerated or kept frozen. In addition, Direct Relief’s logistics partnerships and expertise in customs clearance make it ideally suited for this kind of support.

Direct Relief has facilitated the delivery and storage of millions of vaccine doses around the world, including in the U.S., Mexico, Belize, Bolivia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, and Paraguay.

Increasing Global Cold Chain Capacity:

The main barrier to rolling out the Covid-19 vaccine across low- and middle-income countries is not a supply issue but a supply chain issue. In many areas, a lack of cold chain infrastructure is the main barrier to accessing Covid-19 vaccines and other temperature-controlled medications.

Direct Relief is building and strengthening the cold chain capacity of healthcare partners across multiple countries through the provision of cold chain technology, training, systems mapping, and stable power generation.

Increasing Medical-Grade Oxygen Availability:

Direct Relief has learned, given its work with partners organizations during the pandemic, that there is a lack of medical grade oxygen surge capacity in hospitals globally as well as a widespread chronic undersupply of oxygen in hospitals in developing countries.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, this chronic problem became an acute crisis, and it was felt most painfully in resource-poor countries where hospitals contended with supply constraints well before the pandemic. To address this critical healthcare gap, Direct Relief delivered and continues to deliver medical oxygen devices & equipment and provide funding for the building and refurbishing of oxygen generation plants at health facilities across low- and middle-income countries.

Deploying PPE to Safeguard Health Workers:

When the virus broke out in January 2020, Direct Relief was one of the few non-profits prepared to make a substantial and immediate impact on the crisis with a large supply of PPE and critical care medications that it distributed to safety-net health centers and clinics, hospitals and public health agencies around the U.S. and globally.

Mobilizing Critical Care Resources:

In addition to provision of PPE, Direct Relief’s early identification of needed intensive care medication resulted in it becoming an important source of these scarce medications during the crisis. Its pre-packaged modules of ICU medications were requested by and delivered to the most advanced hospitals, from Chan Zuckerberg General to the University of Miami Hospital.

The pandemic also created other opportunities for Direct Relief to respond within its unique operational strengths. The organization’s cold chain capacity – already used extensively to supply charitable insulin, vaccines, and rare disease therapies around the world – has been called upon to act as a backstop for public health agencies conducting Covid-19 vaccination campaigns, a deeply complex and difficult undertaking with enormous human impact.

Providing Funding for Safety-Net Facilities:

As is the case in all emergencies, the pre-existing gaps get bigger as resources are redirected to the emergency. That’s why Direct Relief’s focus during the Covid-19 pandemic was on supporting its partner network of community health centers, free and charitable clinics, and other safety net health facilities that care for people who are among the least fortunate and most vulnerable to crises. These healthcare providers have expanded their services during the pandemic often without reimbursement.

To support and help sustain their critical efforts, Direct Relief provided these organizations with more than $107 million in direct funding.

Informing Policy Through Data and Analysis

To inform its efforts and those of other response agencies, Direct Relief and partners established the Covid-19 Mobility Data Network, which created the first functional model for using digital mobility data to guide real-time emergency response activities.

The Network advised public health agencies on social distancing, testing, and other measures, from the office of California’s governor to the NYC Department of Health, to the national health services in the UK, South Africa, India, Thailand, and Australia.

Below is an overview of Direct Relief’s global response to Covid-19, organized by region.

Covid-19 Relief: United States

By the Numbers: United States

Direct Relief’s Covid-19 response efforts support people who are the least fortunate and most vulnerable to obtain needed care from local nonprofit health centers and clinics in medically underserved areas. The chronic challenges, vulnerability, and lack of cushion that exist in such communities — most often communities of color — are intensified when emergencies of any type arise, which the Covid-19 pandemic revealed once again.

Black and Indigenous Americans experienced the highest rates of loss from Covid-19. For that reasons, Direct Relief’s principal focus from the onset of the pandemic was to support the community health centers, free and charitable clinics, and other members of the U.S. safety net serving the country’s most vulnerable people and communities.

This support included providing a combination of emergency grants and extensive deliveries of PPE and other medical essentials to protect the health workforce and bolster their efforts to serve communities. Collaborative efforts, including with the National Black Nurses’ Association, artist Sean Diddy Combs, and health leaders in Navajo Nation, allowed Direct Relief to identify and provide targeted assistance to communities of color and the health workers serving them.

Even at the best of times, the country’s safety net operates on razor-thin margins. A downturn in patients – and revenue – may compromise a health center or clinic’s ability to keep its doors open. But these safety net providers played and continue to play an essential role in testing, contact tracing, and monitoring Covid-19 cases. They also kept patients out of overstretched hospitals by managing chronic conditions and other serious health issues.

To help these safety net providers keep their doors open and their patients out of the hospital, Direct Relief provided more than $74.5 million in grants to more than 500 health centers and local organizations across the U.S.

Covid-19 Relief: Americas

By the Numbers: Americas

When Covid-19 entered the Americas (Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America), it spread quickly, attacking large, densely populated city centers and the region’s most remote communities alike. Indigenous people were particularly affected, with a death rate twice as high as that of the general population, due in part to a lack of access to health care, sanitation, and other essential services.

Direct Relief focused its efforts in the Americas on reaching the most vulnerable communities, including Indigenous groups. Because of the region’s extraordinary geographic diversity, Direct Relief’s response needed to be flexible and fast-acting – closely coordinating with on-the-ground partners.

Among its many response activities, Direct Relief provided a grant designed to reach 14,000 Indigenous people in 11 South American countries, with the input of dozens of tribal leaders. In addition, grants were given to two Colombian groups providing PPE, health education, and other services to remote Indigenous communities with limited access to health care.

In Mexico, Direct Relief’s support included assisting with the transport of vaccines and providing millions of units of PPE and other medical supplies. ICU kits, oxygen concentrators, and other Covid-19-related medical supplies were delivered to Ecuador and Peru. And a nearly $10 million donation of medical aid to Honduras, delivered in the wake of Hurricanes Eta and Iota, included PPE and other supplies needed for fighting the spread of Covid-19.

In the Caribbean, Direct Relief has played a key role in repairing or rebuilding health clinics and hospitals that were damaged in hurricanes prior to the pandemic, including in the Bahamas, which was devastated by Hurricane Dorian in 2019, and in Dominica, which was hit by Hurricane Maria in 2017.

In Brazil, Direct Relief helped source thousands of oxygen concentrators and supported vaccination efforts with funding and material resources.

Direct Relief also provided funding and material support to local health facilities in Haiti, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and other countries in the region.

Covid-19 Relief: Africa

By the Numbers: Africa

The pandemic posed a significant threat to vulnerable people across the African continent and to frontline community health workers, who have strong relationships in local communities and who have a vital role to play in testing, vaccination, and providing ongoing health services.

Among its response activities, Direct Relief joined the coalition Covid-19 Action Fund for Africa, investing $10 million to the effort and overseeing the purchasing of PPE intended for community health workers across the region.

The organization also donated $1 million to fighting Covid-19 in South Africa and provided an emergency grant, along with PPE and hygiene supplies, to support Eritrean and Ethiopians who were displaced by political unrest in those countries. Oxygen concentrators were delivered to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania, among others. ICU kits were sent to Ghana, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.

Like the rest of the world, countries in Africa experienced interruptions to chronic care, maternal and reproductive health services, and mental health treatment.

To counter this, Direct Relief provided 48 maternal health kits to Health Alliance International and Mozambique’s Ministry of Health; continued to support a major mental health program in Ghana; and provided ongoing support for diabetes and cancer care in the region.

Covid-19 Relief: Asia / Pacific

By the Numbers: Asia / Pacific

When Covid-19 appeared in Wuhan, China, it quickly overwhelmed the city’s hospitals and strained the surrounding province of Hubei. At one point, a top Chinese official warned that 100,000 protective suits would be required each day to fight the disease’s spread, but the country could only produce about 30,000 daily.

Direct Relief quickly jumped in, sending the country over 2 million units of protective equipment, including masks, gowns, gloves, and face shields.

As the virus expanded quickly through Asia, so too did Direct Relief’s response, particularly in countries and communities that were already vulnerable due to instability or other crises.

Direct Relief provided PPE and oxygen to India; emergency funding to groups providing Covid-19 care to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh; ventilators, and ICU medications for Yemen; ICU kits to Nepal; and chronic disease medication, PPE and grants for hospitals in Lebanon following last year’s devastating explosion in Beirut.

Covid-19 Relief: Europe

By the Numbers: Europe

The European continent was hit hard and early by Covid-19. And like the rest of the world, Europe experienced acute PPE shortages that threatened the continent’s ability to fight and contain the disease. In response, Direct Relief provided large quantities of PPE, ventilators, oxygen concentrators, vaccine refrigerators, other medical equipment, and critical care medications to health organizations in Eastern Europe as well as to overwhelmed health systems in Western Europe including the UK, Spain, and Italy.

The organization’s response in the region also focused on protecting refugees and other vulnerable groups by providing emergency grants to support at-risk refugees in Italy and Greece and sending oxygen concentrators and other critical care items to Kosovo, North Macedonia, Italy, and Spain, where they were in short supply.
