Open-source design efforts<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Open Source COVID19 Medical Supplies, is a key group that is crowdsourcing solutions to address the diminishing stock of medical equipment around the world. They are mobilizing thousands of doctors, engineers, professional fabricators and makers all over the world to generate open source medical supply plans, build a library of medical supply requirements and designs, and create distributable plans for organizing effective local response to medical supply chain interruption. Here are some ways you can learn more and get involved.<\/p>\n
