Hospitals across Ho Chi Minh City are struggling to treat COVID-19 patients due to a severe shortage of equipment.
To tackle the urgent situation in the hospital and try to help lower the mortality rate due to lack of equipment, Rotary Club Saigon International will raise funds to join forces with Rotary International Club and purchase 100 oxygen concentrators to support the field hospitals in Vietnam.
Each Oxygen concentrator costs around USD800 (we have negotiated supply at cost price from local distributors and have compared pricing from 5 different suppliers and checked with several senior doctors in field hospitals as to the suitability of the chosen units).
Our chosen unit delivers 10L/minute of oxygen at approx. 94% concentration. It is designed to support patients at level2-3 of progression of Covid to increase o2 Saturation in the bloodstream.
