We aim to prevent patients deaths by providing hospitals with
access to life-saving
oxygen therapy
THE PROBLEM
Every year, 7 million children in low and middle-income countries are admitted to hospitals needing oxygen therapy for pneumonia alone.
In most low income contexts, 4 out of 5 of those children will not receive the oxygen they need.
Without treatment, 2 in 10 children with low oxygen levels die. These are preventable deaths.
THE SOLUTION
We support hospitals and healthcare staff with essential oxygen therapy equipment and support:
​
​
-
Oximetry devices for measuring blood oxygen levels
-
Oxygen concentrators for treatment
-
Technical maintenance and support
-
Reliable power solutions where needed
Treatment is highly effective - When oxygen is available in hospitals:
​
-
​48% reduction in pneumonia deaths
-
25% reduction in all causes of pediatric mortality
