Hospitals and health posts in remote areas have been struggling to meet the demand for medical oxygen and people have to stay in queues for their turn to get oxygen cylinders. Oxygen concentrators are of extreme importance in respiratory infectious disease management.
The oxygen concentrators will be donated to different local bodies, hospitals and health posts at Nuwakot, Syangja, Myagdi, Gorkha, Solukhumbu, Manang, Kaski, and Bardiya among other places.
