Somalia has opened the country’s first public oxygen plant as the Horn of Africa nation with one of the world’s weakest health systems combats Covid-19.
The oxygen plant was installed Thursday at a hospital in the capital, Mogadishu. It is expected to produce 1,000 cylinders of oxygen a week.
The scarcity of medical oxygen has hurt response efforts across many African nations as the delta variant of the coronavirus now drives the bulk of infections on the continent of 1.3 billion people.
Insecurity in Somalia poses an added challenge to efforts to fight the pandemic. A Covid-19 ward recently set up at the hospital was partially destroyed weeks ago in an attack by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group, which controls parts of Somalia and frequently targets the capital.
Part of the work around the oxygen plant’s installation focused on repairing that damage.
Somalia has one of the highest case fatality rates from Covid-19 in Africa, and few measures are enforced to slow the spread of the virus.
The country has had nearly 20,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19, but more infections are likely undetected because testing is not widespread. In addition, just 1 per cent of the country’s population of more than 15 million has been vaccinated.
