Standard Chartered Bangladesh recently coordinated efforts with TMSS Medical College and Rafatullah Community Hospital (TMC & RCH) to make sure 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, says a press release.
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.
