Oxygen for Nepal

Seven Nepali firms Batas Foundation, America Nepal Medical Foundation, Syakar Trading Private Limited, Jagadamba Steels Private Limited, CREASION, Humanity Foundation Nepal and Mission Rebuild Nepal are joining hands to import ten oxygen plants and five oxygen filling systems from the French manufacturers Novair within three weeks. Ten oxygen plants are equivalent to 640 jumbo cylinders and will produce 2,400 liters of oxygen per minute. 

“We hope that this mission will help flatten the curve and improve the ongoing health crisis to a great extent,” says CREASION's Aanand Mishra. Meanwhile, Finland last week shipped 2,498,540 surgical masks, 164,500 vinyl gloves, 26,000 gowns, 349,920 KN95 masks and 288,000 face shields in response to Nepal’s request for EU assistance.
