A Kenyan steel billionaire has stepped in to pledge free oxygen for Covid patients, says Chris Bishop (Billionaire Tomorrow).
There s been a surge in the number of Covid-19 infections in Kenya and hospitals are running out of life-saving oxygen for patients in intensive care.
The government has pleaded for the return of oxygen cylinders private companies and institutions are holding on to.
It says there are 20,000 cylinders out of circulation.
The oxygen Committee has identified issues of service, maintenance & operations and pipping as a requirement, which we are currently working on to address with partners such as the World Bank and the French Government. https://t.co/R3nHG4EXs7â Ministry of Health (@MOH Kenya) April 8, 2021
