Kenyans are holding up to 20,000 underutilised or idle oxygen cylinders, which listed industrial gas manufacturer BOC Kenya is now asking for to enable it ramp up supply of medical oxygen to hospitals.
BOC's managing director, Marion Mwangi, said that the cylinders, once returned, will be used to package medical oxygen for supply to both public and private hospitals amid the rising number of Covid-19 infections.
Ample supply of oxygen is needed for the management of Covid-19 patients, who experience breathing difficulty.
“We want to enhance our support to government and private healthcare providers in responding to the treatment of Covid-19 by increasing our national gas cylinders float... We therefore urge anyone with idle cylinders to surrender to us for use with urgency,” Ms Mwangi said yesterday.
“About 20,000 cylinders that can carry medical oxygen are out in the market or not in use yet these could save many lives. The company will issue requisite documents (to those handing them in) which can be retained for future use.
