Indonesian woman dentist designs colorful protective suits

4-9-2020

Indonesian woman dentist Nina Agustin, from Malang, designed colorful protective equipment for her patients to uplift their mood in the clinic while meeting the safety standards and medical protocol during the Covid-19 pandemic. On her innovative idea that went viral on social media, Agustin said dentists are more likely to be infected with the coronavirus as they directly treat the mouth of the patient. And while the protective wear available in the market usually comes in white and in large sizes, Agustin explained, it makes a dentist uncomfortable in her work, which sparked the idea of creating 25 different suits of personal protective equipment (PPE).
