How Ford Is Helping 3M and GE Make Ventilators and More to Fight Coronavirus
Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) said that it is working with 3M (NYSE: MMM) and General Electric's (NYSE: GE) healthcare unit, as well as the United Auto Workers labor union (UAW), to ramp up production of urgently needed hospital and safety equipment.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and respirators are in short supply as hospitals and first responders have mobilized to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic has also left healthcare authorities worried about a shortage of hospital ventilators, which are necessary for the many COVID-19 sufferers who have difficulty breathing.
