Cuba President pays a visit to medical oxygen business

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Wednesday paid a visit to the Medical Oxygen Business, based in Cotorro municipality, to check the setup and start-up of the plant.

On Twitter, the Cuban president –along with Prime Minister Manuel Marrero- confirmed the working staff´s hard work to speed up the complex coupling process to allow production in upcoming days.

Faced with the failure of the plant, Cuba had to seek alternatives to guarantee oxygen supply to hospitals through the provision of small factories and the acquisition of such an essential medical supply through imports and donations from various countries.

The urgent situation led to the establishment of a national command post to efficiently manage availability, taking into account the needs of the territories nationwide.
