In Afghanistan’s Baghlan province, an oxygen production plant built

An oxygen-producing facility was erected in Afghanistan’s northern Baghlan region to address a critical gas shortage in hospitals, according to the state-run news outlet Bakhtar on Friday.

The equipment, which cost $120,000 and can fill 60 oxygen cylinders in 24 hours, was handed over to provincial health officials on Thursday, according to the news agency.

According to the news agency, the opening of the province’s oxygen plant would eliminate oxygen shortages in all of Baghlan’s hospitals.

When Covid-19 was at its peak in Afghanistan in 2020–21, there was a scarcity of oxygen in several Afghan hospitals, which resulted in the deaths of Covid-19 patients.

To address the oxygen shortage in hospitals, the Afghan government has already built oxygen-producing facilities in many provinces, including Kabul, Herat, and Nimroz.
