The National and County Governments are working together to beef up oxygen capacity in various health facilities in preparation for a possible fourth wave. With the Covid-19 numbers and positivity rate going down, both levels of government have embarked on a project to ensure there are enough medical oxygen cylinders, piped oxygen in hospitals, reliable and working oxygen plants, and putting bulk liquid oxygen tanks in facilities. This is to ensure the country does not get overwhelmed like India should the fourth wave come knocking. Let us use this opportunity to be able to strengthen our capacity in preparation for a potential wave that will come thereafter,” Amoth said. This saw the country face an acute shortage of oxygen as the number of patients in need of critical care and oxygen continued to rise.
