We say a very big thank you to for donating Oxygen Concentrators to Liberia: Ministry of Health (MOH)⠀
⠀
⠀
This donation was made on Thursday, August 6, 2020 on the Ministry’s Compound in Congo Town, Monrovia.⠀
An oxygen concentrator is a device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream. Two methods in common use are pressure swing adsorption and membrane gas separation.⠀
⠀
The machines worth over US$14,280.00, using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology will be used for oxygen provision in healthcare applications, especially where liquid or pressurized oxygen is too dangerous or inconvenient. Treatment units facing shortage of oxygen concentrators will now benefit from the supplies, according to the Ministry of Health’s press release.⠀
