Bridging the Gap: Ensuring Equitable Access to Medical Oxygen Through Investment, Training, and Biomedical Equipment Maintenance
The Commission reports that over 5 billion people lack access to safe and affordable medical oxygen services, with the largest inequities concentrated in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The Oxygen Alliance’s mission aligns with the Commission’s findings in several key areas:
World Oxygen Day 2024: Closing the Gaps in Oxygen Access and Equipment Maintenance for Global Health
On this year’s World Oxygen Day, the call to action is louder than ever. Medical oxygen is not just a critical treatment—it is a lifeline across multiple health targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Whether for newborn survival, safe surgery, or managing chronic respiratory diseases, oxygen is the common denominator for saving millions of lives, and yet, access remains alarmingly insufficient in many low- and middle-income countries, where health systems face severe equipment shortages and a dire lack of technical personnel. A Grim Snapshot: The
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Equipment
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a marvel of modern medicine, providing a non-invasive way to peer inside the human body. Unlike X-rays, which use ionizing radiation, MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of organs, tissues, and even subtle abnormalities. This makes it a safe and versatile tool for a wide range of medical applications. Decoding the Magic: How MRI Works MRI may seem like magic, but the science behind it is fascinating. It works by aligning the natural magnetic properties of
X-ray Vision: A Deep Dive into Equipment Selection, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
