The supply of oxygen has been a major challenge within the healthcare sector in Nigeria. There are at least 30 oxygen plants but healthcare facilities still run out of supply due to poor maintenance and epileptic electricity. AirCo proffers a solution to this supply challenge.
Temie Giwa – Tubosun, chief executive officer, LifeBank in a statement said “At LifeBank we are driven by impact. We simply cannot accept that hundreds of thousands of our people will die because of something like medical oxygen, particularly up North. So my team and I got together to launch AirCo and partnered with Oxygen Hub. Thanks to all the people at LifeBank and our partners for making this a success”.
