Air Liquide deploys its Access Oxygen program in Madagascar! Already deployed in Senegal, South Africa, Kenya, and Mali, This program leverages the Group's historical expertise in healthcare to provide populations in low- and middle-income countries with reliable, affordable, and sustainable access to oxygen. The Group's ambition is to make oxygen more accessible in primary healthcare centers, which are often the first level of care for patients living in rural areas.  This includes: 🏥 The supply of oxygen therapy equipment to 8 isolated centers in the Antsirabe region, covering 215,000 inhabitants located far from hospital facilities. The distribution, technical maintenance, and monitoring of the medical devices are handled by Hospiteq Sarl. 🤝 The training of healthcare professionals by an Air Liquide employee. ☀️ Solar panels ensuring continuity of care even in the absence of a stable electrical grid. Access to oxygen is a major public health challenge, notably essential for fighting against infant and maternal mortality.
