Chisinau, 19 December /MOLDPRES/ - A station for producing medical oxygen today was inaugurated at the district hospital from Cimislia. The station, worth about 1.8 million lei, will produce 16 cubic metres of oxygen during one hour.

According to the Health Ministry, within the implementation of the Health Component of the project, Emergency response to COVID-19 and support for micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, financed by the Council of Europe Development Bank, 35 stations for producing medical oxygen, meant for public hospitals of Moldova, were purchased in all; they have been already delivered and most of them were set.

The stations will be used for producing oxygen continuously, in order to meet the needs of patients with respiratory problems and other diseases.
