Boost To Oxygen Supply As LHS Nanyuki Commences Mega Storage Project
LHS Nanyuki is set to ramp up its oxygen capacity following the planned acquisition of a large storage facility for the same.
The ten-ton oxygen tank which is set to be installed in the coming few weeks, will drastically reduce hospital operation costs, with the clients set to enjoy the price convenience as well.
In a project that is poised to comprehensively address gaps in the oxygen supply in the facilities, the investment will put an end to the current expensive supply mechanisms. The oxygen plant currently in use is not only prone to expensive breakdowns but is also less efficient as the oxygen is not in pure form, cutting out critical points of service such as theatre.
Works on the site where the oxygen tank will be placed is progressing well, and the installation will be completed in the near future.
The eight million shillings installation comes with pure oxygen and will be a relief for critical service points such as theatre which for long have been relying on outsourced oxygen for operations. Equipment for aesthetical operations runs on pure oxygen only.
With the bulk procurement of oxygen, the price is reduced by 66 percent. This means that for instance, a 1,000 shillings oxygen unit will be priced at about 340 shillings.
Coming at a time when the need for oxygen is constantly on the rise, especially in the wake of COVID-19, this new investment is a reprieve for critical service points such as the critical care unit. This puts LHS Nanyuki in a better place to handle possible high needs of oxygen. Coming new facility will run alongside the existing oxygen plant complementing each other to accommodate growing hospital needs.
