ANSOPP  commends Soludo over 500 Oxygen-Cylinder donation

POSTED ON October 6, 2024 •   Health & Wellness      BY Abiodun Saheed Omodara
Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo

The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, has been commended for his pro-ac­tive healthcare initiatives that have contributed to general wellbeing and long life of the citizenry, espe­cially those in trauma.

Making this known on the occasion of road walk to mark the 2024 World Ox­ygen Day with the theme, “Breathe Better, Walk Together,” the Managing Director/Chief Executive of Anambra State Medical Oxygen Production Plants (ANSOPP), Nwamaka Arinze said the agency, thanked the governor for his assurance to increase the number of cylinders from 200 to 500 in the near­est future.

She observed that the gesture would help to make health services functionally and regular­ly available, affordable, ac­cessible, especially women on labour or delivered of newborns, and victims of accidents and trauma which would have been lost due to unavailability of oxygen.

Arinze, who was one of the initiators of the med­ical oxygen plant project under the Willie Obiano administration observed that the Medical Oxygen Plant strategically sited at Chukwuemeka Odu­megwu-Ojukwu Univer­sity Teaching Hospital (COOUTH), Amaku Awka, remained the biggest in the South East zone.

She hinted that the ad­ditional cylinders would consolidate efforts being made to ensure hospitals always have enough oxy­gen to check occurrences of avoidable deaths in the state.

According to her, the governor’s disruptive and intentional mandate on health vision to ANSOPP is that no one should die due to lack of oxygen at hospitals.

She pointed out that the Federal Government has set up a national pol­icy to ensure that Nigeria achieves Sustainable De­velopment Goals (SDGs) of which oxygen plant is a critical component.

According to her, the agency is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the governor’s expectation of meeting the vision 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at Un­der-5 Infant Mortality Rate to 25 per 1000 live births.
