Standard Chartered Bangladesh recently coordinated efforts with TMSS Medical College & Rafatullah Community Hospital (TMC & RCH) to ensure that patients have access to life-saving medical oxygen at all times.
The onset and height of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for readily available and reliable oxygen for patients suffering from COVID-19 as well as those impacted by cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, along with other ailments.
To meet patient and hospital needs, Standard Chartered has donated a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Medical Oxygen Generation Plant to TMC & RCH. The oxygen plant’s total installed capacity of 608 litres/minute will meet the needs of approximately 180 patients. The newly inaugurated medical oxygen plant is the second of three to be donated to community hospitals around Bangladesh by the Bank. Once installed in all three locations, the total oxygen generation potential of the plants will exceed 1700 litres/minute and will serve up to 400 patients per day.
