Cape Town – South Africa’s only supplier of medical oxygen to state hospitals and clinics, Afrox, has increased its back-up storage levels of oxygen to cater for the high demand.
With a rising number of hospitalised patients requiring oxygen, suppliers have seen a 600% spike in demand for oxygen as a result of Covid-19.
Afrox spokesperson Nolundi Rawana said the company had increased its back-up storage levels of oxygen to nearly 1 500 tons.
“As the sole supplier of medical oxygen to state hospitals and clinics, as well as private hospitals and clinics, the production and delivery of medical oxygen is our top priority, as is supplying pandemic hot spots identified by the government in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, North West and Limpopo provinces.
