JD.ID, the e-commerce joint venture of JD.com in Indonesia, has started distributing personal protective equipment(PPE)to hospitals that treat COVID-19 patients, as a result of a cooperative program with local non-profit organization Kitabisa. The first 250 sets of PPE were distributed to local hospitals on September 4th, with the remaining supplies set to be distributed before September 30th.

In cooperation with Kitabisa, JD.ID launched a campaign called JD Peduli #IndonesiaLawanCorona on April 8th, with the goal of raising funds to support virus-fighting efforts in Indonesia.

The program lasted until July 31st and raised IDR109,334,591 (US$7408) in total, exceeding a preset target of IDR100,000,000 (US$6776). All the funds were submitted to Kitabisa to purchase medical supplies including PPE.
