About Us

The Oxygen Alliance was founded on a bold vision to make a real difference in the healthcare ecosystem. In 2021, Sanrai International and Global Health Informatics Institute (GHII) came together to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare: non-functional equipment in hospitals. At the height of COVID, non-functional oxygen equipment led to countless lives being lost. But what if these devices could be repaired and put back into service? That’s where the Oxygen Alliance comes in. The Oxygen Alliance is an organization focused on health systems strengthening to build a sustainable and resilient healthcare ecosystem. Our mission is to advocate for the repair and maintenance of biomedical devices, ensuring the delivery of high-quality healthcare in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We've established a multidisciplinary collaborative platform by bringing together a diverse network of partners—including governments, biomedical engineers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), manufacturers, and academic institutions to build our initiatives

Maintain

Regular maintenance prevents malfunctions, extends device longevity, and ensures continuous patient care. By investing in resource sharing, situational analysis and supporting a culture of routine checks and care, we are at the forefront of safeguarding the functionality of vital medical tools, and enhancing healthcare resilience.

Repair

Repair is vital for restoring non-functional medical devices to optimal condition, addressing issues from inadequate maintenance or misuse. The Oxygen Alliance fosters an environment where repair is a prioritized practice. We facilitate knowledge exchange, offer academic support, and promote policies that emphasize the critical nature of timely repairs. By sharing expertise and resources, we empower healthcare providers to address and rectify equipment issues, reducing downtime and enhancing the availability and reliability of essential medical devices, thereby supporting robust patient care.

Revive

Revive signifies our dedication to rejuvenating medical equipment, ensuring its purpose in saving lives is met. Through advocacy, training, and the dissemination of best practices, we strive to instill a mindset focused on the longevity and effectiveness of medical devices. Our approach helps create a sustainable healthcare infrastructure where equipment downtime is minimized, significantly contributing to the improved well-being of patients and the overall efficiency of healthcare systems globally.
