“AirSep commercial products are known across the world for their quality and craftsmanship, and in this circumstance can make all the difference in supporting life for millions of people, including critically-ill children”, Angelo Barberic, AirSep Regional Sales Manager of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, said.
He further continued,”We are honoured to be a part of this opportunity and the effect it will make today and for future generations.”
The plants will be managed through an innovative public-private partnership business model managed by Assist International/AI Medical Oxygen Production PLC that will create a locally-run, reliable and revenue-generating oxygen production and distribution system, so allowing the income generated to be reinvested into strengthening the health care system in the Amhara region.
Coming together to strengthen access and improve quality of surgical and anesthesia care in Ethiopia were Assist International, a US-based non-governmental organisation which facilitated the development of the project, the Federal Ministry of Health, Amhara Regional Health Bureau, GE Foundation through the Safe Surgery 2020 initiative, Grand Challenges Canada, and other local stakeholders.
