We believe in a world where deaths due to a lack of oxygen are a never event.
And we cannot lose any more time.
Accelerating access to #oxygen in low-resource-settings requires a coordinated, systemic effort 🫁🌍
Will you join us?

👏👏👏 @WHO's updated COVID19 strategy prioritizes vaccinating 100% of health workers.
“Vaccinating all those most at risk is the single best way to save lives, protect health systems and keep societies and economies open," says @DrTedros.
