The Kisumu county government has installed a Sh51 million oxygen plant at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital to boost Covid-19 management. Dr George Rae, JOOTRH chief executive officer, on Thursday said the plant can produce 600 litres of oxygen per minute. The JOOTRH will supply other health facilities such as Kombewa, Ahero, Kisumu County Referral and Pap Onditi with the surplus oxygen. “We will be able to produce more oxygen hence the surplus will be supplied to other health facilities. He said medical waste poses a safety risk to residents and its management must be given priority in every hospital within the county.
