Linde Bangladesh Limited, medical oxygen supplier in Bangladesh, has launched “Save Oxygen. Save Lives.”, a new public service campaign to help raise awareness on personal best practices in conserving and using Medical Oxygen properly.

The ongoing COVID-19 cases in the country has brought an unprecedented amount of attention on the role of medical oxygen in emergency treatments and saving lives. 

The situation also revealed knowledge gaps on proper handling of medical oxygen equipment which could lead to health risks and wastage, especially with personal supplies of medical oxygen.

“As we continue our battle against ongoing COVID-19, we also need to ensure that whatever we’ve learned from this crisis translates into greater preparedness for the future, “said Sujeet Kumar Pai, Managing Director Linde Bangladesh Limited. 

Sujeet said oxygen is a precious, life-saving resource, and they believe this campaign will raise awareness on the proper use of medical oxygen equipment, avoid unforeseen wastage and ultimately support the fight against the pandemic.

The campaign will distribute various materials aimed at raising awareness of the proper ways to handle medical oxygen equipment to Linde’s healthcare customers and partnered hospitals and provide additional training for their healthcare customers whenever appropriate.

Linde Bangladesh said they are working on several large-scale initiatives in cooperation with the Government of Bangladesh, relevant authorities, and industry partners at a national level and this initiative is one such in Linde’s overall effort to support the country’s battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Linde Bangladesh with active support from the Government authorities have also implemented the Indo-Bangla Oxygen Express for the first time in history to transport Medical Oxygen from India to Bangladesh.

The campaign will also seek partnerships with medical associations and hospitals to bring the message further throughout Bangladesh. 

Linde said it continues to encourage public to get vaccinated when they can, wear masks when they are out in the public and to adhere to personal hygiene & social distancing guidelines.
