@WHO: RT @DrTedros: One of the most effective ways of saving lives from #COVID19 is providing oxygen to patients who need it. WHO estimates that at the current rate of ~ 1 million new cases a week, the world needs about 620,000 cubic meters of oxygen a day, which is nearly 88,000 large cylinders. https://t.co/ptLcnPGBMa

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "Finally, tomorrow the Government of #DRC is planning to announce the end of the #Ebola outbreak in the east of the country, after almost 2 years of struggle. In total there have been almost 3500 cases, almost 2300 deaths, and almost 1200 survivors"-@DrTedros

@WHO: "We understand that it wasn't an easy decision to make & it is a major disappointment for many Muslims who were looking forward to making their pilgrimage this year. This is another example of the hard choices that all countries must make to put health first"-@DrTedros

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "This decision was made based on a risk assessment and analysis of different scenarios, in accordance with WHO guidance, to protect the safety of pilgrims and minimize the risk of transmission. WHO supports this decision"-@DrTedros #COVID19

@WHO: "Earlier this week, the Government of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia announced that this year's #Hajj will proceed with a limited number of pilgrims of different nationalities who live within the Kingdom"-@DrTedros #COVID19

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "As some countries start to reopen their societies & economies, questions about how to hold gatherings of large numbers of people safely have become increasingly important. This is especially true of one of the 🌍’s largest mass gatherings, the annual #Hajj pilgrimage"-@DrTedros

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "WHO has also published technical specifications for the design of this equipment, as well as guidance for countries on oxygen sources and distribution. This is just one way in which WHO is continuing to support countries with science, solidarity and solutions"-@DrTedros #COVID19

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "To address this challenge, WHO is supporting several countries to buy equipment that will enable them to generate their own concentrated oxygen in larger amounts. This is a sustainable solution for #COVID19 and beyond, but requires technical expertise for maintenance"-@DrTedros

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "Another challenge is that many patients with critical disease need a higher flow rate of oxygen than is produced by most commercially available concentrators"-@DrTedros #COVID19

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "Ongoing talks with suppliers in recent weeks have enabled WHO to buy 14K oxygen concentrators, which will be sent to 120 countries in the coming weeks. WHO has identified a further 170K concentrators that can be available over the next 6 months, with a value of $100M"-@DrTedros

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "WHO and our @UN 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"-@DrTedros #COVID19

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "However, many countries are now experiencing difficulties in obtaining oxygen concentrators. 80% of the market is owned by just a few companies, and demand is currently outstripping supply"-@DrTedros #COVID19

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "Medical oxygen is produced using oxygen concentrators, which extract and purify oxygen from the air. WHO estimates that at the current rate of about 1M new cases a week, the world needs about 620,000 cubic meters of oxygen a day, which is about 88,000 large cylinders"-@DrTedros

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT

@WHO: "Left untreated, severe #COVID19 deprives cells and organs of the oxygen they need, which ultimately leads to organ failure and death"-@DrTedros

http://twitter.com/WHO via IFTTT
