The Innovative Oxygen Plant-In-A-Box Saves the Lives of Children Suffering from Pneumonia


credit:

Every year, more than 7 million children under the age of 5 die from pneumonia, the world's deadliest infectious disease for children.

And for many of those children, access to quality health care is challenging, a key reason so many children die each year from pneumonia-related deaths.

UNICEF has been working for years to find solutions to the problem, and one of those solutions is an all-in-one Oxygen Plant-in-a-Box that has been installed in more than 100 hospitals around the world.

The all-in-one solution includes a pressure swing plant that produces large volumes of medical oxygen, as well as the necessary equipment to set up the plant, such as an air compressor, oxygen tank, oxygen cylinders, trolleys for ferrying oxygen, and a power stabilizer.

The Plant-in-a-Box project was born out of UNICEF's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit low- and middle-income countries hard, killing more than 2,000 children under the age of 5 every day.

The pandemic exposed massive gaps in oxygen availability at a global level, and UNICEF recognized the challenge and worked to drive solutions that would quickly deliver large-scale systems to address the pandemic and underlying health systems gaps.
