Kabale regional referral hospital has suspended the supply of oxygen gas to lower health facilities in the Kigezi sub-region.
The presence of an oxygen plant at Kabale regional referral hospital has been a relief to both government and private health facilities in the Kigezi sub-region.
Dr. Sophie Namasopo, the Kabale regional referral hospital director says that due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 patients who are in critical condition, the demand for oxygen has also increased at the facility’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
According to Namasopo, 80 COVID-19 cases are so far admitted at the facility’s isolation ward.
