Medical oxygen

Medical oxygen is a lifesaving medicine with no substitute. It is used to treat a broad spectrum of illnesses and conditions, including pneumonia, COVID-19, advanced HIV, severe tuberculosis, and malaria, and is vital for maternal and child health services, surgery and critical care.

Monoclonal antibodies

Monoclonal antibodies are manufactured versions of proteins that mimic those the immune system generates to defend ourselves from diseases.

Pulse oximeters

A device used to measure the oxygen saturation in the blood and identify hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood).  

Oxygen delivery devices for babies

Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) devices and oxygen blender systems offer a non-invasive way of ventilating newborns who are struggling to breathe.
