Zoë Mullan, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet Global Health and I&D Lead for The Lancet Group, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I’m thrilled to announce the launch of our much-anticipated Commission on medical oxygen security!
Medical oxygen is:
– Life-saving for people with acute illness
– Life-sustaining for people undergoing anaesthesia and surgical care
– Life-enhancing for people with chronic respiratory failure
Medical oxygen is also:
In high demand worldwide: 374 million people, 1·2 billion Nm3 annually
Too often unavailable: 2 in 3 people lack safe, quality, affordable access
Complicated: not just a medicine, but a whole system in itself
Please take time to explore the rich content – new estimates, new recommendations, new inspiration – and find out how you can get involved in the oxygen agenda.”
