Minister of Health Lizzie Nkosi says Government is forging ahead with plans to establish more oxygen plants across the country. She has been speaking when receiving E500 000 from the FNB Eswatini Foundation that will go towards completing The Luke Commission's oxygen plant. 
Minister Nkosi: "A similar plant is already under construction at Lubombo Referral Hospital. Plans are underway to construct bulk oxygen plants at Nhlangano Health Centre & Mbabane Government Hospital to increase local production capacity."
Minister Nkosi: "These plants will provide oxygen not just for #COVID19 but for other ailments including snake-bites which result in a significant number of deaths annually that could be prevented. These plants are a great investment for our future health."
FNB Eswatini Foundation Chairperson Dennis Mbingo: "We hope that other businesses will throw their weight behind long-term solutions like this."
The Luke Commission Executive Director Echo VanderWal: "We are so thankful to the FNB Eswatini Foundation. Oxygen is a critical tool for the care & treatment of #COVID19 patients. We are so honoured to receive this gift that will benefit emaSwati."
