Medical oxygen production recovers optimal level in Cuba

Havana, November 4 (RHC)—Cuban President, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, announced on Twitter that medical oxygen production on the island had reached stability.

The Cuban leader informed the social media network that this resource has already recovered its optimal levels while inventories of this essential product are being restored.

During the confrontation with the pandemic, the Cuban health system presented limitations with the coverage of medical oxygen for patients with COVID-19 due to a breakdown in the leading oxygen plant.

Faced with this situation, Cuba had to seek alternatives to supply oxygen to hospital centers. Small factories were made available to the Cuban health system, and imports and donations from different countries.

Recently, a medical oxygen plant donated by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) was installed in Havana's "Carlos Juan Finlay" hospital.
