Amid a critical shortage of medical oxygen in the country and a rising demand for Covid-19 patients, The Salman Sufi Foundation has announced the launch O2 Bank, a project that will streamline the oxygen supply to citizens.
The project is planned to address the critical issues citizens face such as no centralised mechanism to find oxygen vendors and the hoarding of oxygen supplies which severely hamper the ability of citizens to procure life-saving oxygen.
Covid-19 has exposed critical flaws in the country’s oxygen supply network and prices have been systematically raised by hoarders, said a press release issued by the foundation on Friday.
