Chennai: The recent second wave Covid-19 cases in India brought an unprecedented amount of attention on the role of medical oxygen in emergency treatments and saving lives.
The situation also revealed knowledge gaps on the proper handling of medical oxygen equipment which led to health risks and wastage, especially with personal supplies of medical oxygen.
“Save Oxygen, Save Lives”, a new public service campaign to raise awareness on the proper and safe use of medical oxygen equipment has been launched by Linde plc in India.
“While our hope is that India never goes through such a crisis ever again, we also need to ensure that whatever we’ve learned from this crisis translates into greater preparedness for the future,” said Moloy Banerjee, head South Asia, Linde.
