Need 620,000 cubic meters oxygen/ day for Covid: WHO

 Rohit Shishodia

The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that there will be need of 620000 cubic meters of oxygen in a day to handle current cases of coronavirus in the world.


In a press briefing on June 24, 2020, Dr Tedros Adhanom, DG, WHO, has said that WHO estimates that at the current rate of about a million new cases a week, the world needs about 620,000 cubic meters of oxygen a day, which is about 88,000 large cylinders,” he added.

“However, many countries are now experiencing difficulties in obtaining oxygen concentrators. 80 percent of the market is owned by just a few companies, and demand is currently outstripping supply,” said Dr Adhanom.

He informed that WHO and United Nation partners are working with manufacturers across the world through a variety of private sector networks to buy oxygen concentrators for countries that need them most.

Ongoing talks with suppliers in recent weeks have enabled WHO to buy 14,000 oxygen concentrators, which will be sent to 120 countries in the coming weeks.

WHO has identified a further 170,000 concentrators that can be available over the next 6 months, with a value of US$100 million dollars.

According to WHO, more than 9.1 million cases and more than 470,000 deaths due to Covid-19 have been reported so far.

In the first month of this outbreak, less than 10,000 cases were reported to WHO. In the last month, almost 4 million cases have been reported.

“We expect to reach a total of 10 million cases within the next week. This is a sober reminder that even as we continue research into vaccines and therapeutics, we have an urgent responsibility to do everything we can with the tools we have now to suppress transmission and save lives,” said Dr Adhanom.

WHO said that one of the most effective ways of saving lives is providing oxygen to patients who need it. Several news reports published today have highlighted the vital role of oxygen in treating patients with severe and critical Covid-19.

This has been an area of intense focus for WHO since the beginning of the pandemic. Patients with severe and critical COVID-19 cannot get enough oxygen into their blood by breathing normally. They need higher concentrations of oxygen and support to get it into their lungs.
