The first ever AirSep PSA Oxygen System in the Republic of Mozambique was installed in April 2022 bringing much needed medical aid to the region. AirSep partnered with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Mozambican Government to activate this project designed to provide desperately needed medical oxygen in this Southeastern African country.

Island of Dominica Receives Oxygen System Support in Foreign Aid
Many global aid organizations have worked tirelessly to equip medical facilities and professionals with the oxygen resources they need throughout the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Major efforts have included the funding of new oxygen plants and repairs to existing plants in several countries, including one in particular on the island of Dominica. A reliable and sustainable oxygen resource is vital in preventing shortages in low-resource settings. Ensuring that hospitals and other healthcare facilities have access to medical-grade oxygen, 24/7, is essential to the health and wellness of all global citizens.

Getting Oxygen to Nejo, Ethiopia: A Patient-Centered Approach
According to the World Health Organization, pneumonia causes more child deaths than any other disease worldwide. In Ethiopia, 420 mothers die per 100,000 live births and 64 under-five children die per 1,000 live births. These are among the highest rates in Sub-Saharan Africa, and many of these deaths can be prevented with access to oxygen therapy. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, many hospitals and healthcare facilities have long struggled to secure access to medical oxygen and training on the proper use of oxygen therapy. At the Nejo Oxygen Center, an AirSep Oxygen Cylinder Refilling Plant is able to produce over 1800 cylinders of oxygen per month, which is being distributed across the western region of Ethiopia where healthcare workers are able to administer the oxygen their patients desperately need thanks to the work of Assist International.
