In this video, Mr. John, a hospital technician, shares the heartbreaking challenges of accessing medical oxygen in remote areas with the OxyCare Uganda team: - Newborns at risk due to a lack of oxygen. - Inability to refill oxygen cylinders due to high costs and long distances. - Donated concentrators from COVID-19 are now in disrepair without proper maintenance. - Forced to refer patients to other centers because of oxygen shortages. At OxyCare Uganda, we’re stepping in to address these life-threatening challenges. We’re committed to improving access to medical oxygen, so no patient is left without the care they need. Thank you to our partners like D-Prize for supporting this critical mission. Together, we are saving lives.
