Proof-of-concept that a multi-hub oxygen network can decentralize oxygen access and provide resilient supply despite O2 plant down-time. Oxygen security! @PIH @UNITAID @Melino_MD @Andom_MD @JoiaMukherjee @juleslaw5 @tiaraforsyth @Stop_Pneumonia
📢NEW PREPRINT👇🏼we created an O2 network in Lesotho. In 15 months: >1.5k cylinders across 21 sites. Thats >3k patient-hours of O2 tx! ⚠️not yet peer-reviewed⚠️@PIH @UNITAID @Melino_MD @Stop_Pneumonia #oxygensecurity

👇🏼@Stop_Pneumonia said it best!
Important new @PLOSGPH essay uncovers massive gap in #TB care ~92M people living with post-TB lung disease. Like Mahapa👇in #Lesotho, many need home #oxygen to leave the hospital. But most don't get it b/c they are an invisible patient population. Time to change that

So excited about this landmark achievement in oxygen access in Malawi! Grateful to @unitaid for supporting this work and investing in oxygen!
PIH & MoH are launching the Pressure-Swing Adsorption Plant in Chikwawa to improve access to safe, reliable, quality oxygen. This development will reduce the resources that Chikwawa & Nsanje District Hospitals were using to access oxygen in Blantyre more: https://t.co/GHzHuwEyC1
