More than half a million #COVID19 patients are estimated to need oxygen in low- and middle-income countries.

25 countries are currently reporting surges in demand, the majority in Africa bit.ly/2Mp4z9k
Oxygen was in short supply in several countries even before #COVID19, which can increase demand in health facilities as much as 5-7 times above normal times bit.ly/2Mp4z9k
Oxygen is an essential medicine used to care for many types of patients, including for:
- Surgery
- Trauma
- Heart failure
- Asthma
- Pneumonia
- Maternal and child care
