Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
During the covid-19 pandemic, Tunisia was able to strengthen the supply of medical oxygen to the health system by acquiring new oxygen storage and production equipment, including oxygen concentrators and generators. Despite those efforts, a shortage of oxygen during the crisis occurred. The scaling up of medical oxygen is essential to achieving national and global objectives of reducing neonatal, infant and maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as better care for patients suffering from severe forms of Covid-19, trauma, chronic diseases or undergoing surgery. In this context, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Health in the development of a national oxygen scale-up strategy to create a sustainable and equitable ecosystem for oxygen services in Tunisia.
