Dear GFF Partners,
The GFF and Path are pleased to invite you to attend an online seminar organized by the GFF Secretariat on Tuesday, 26 October 2021 from 08:00am to 010:00am (Eastern Time, US & Canada) to discuss Strengthening access to medical oxygen for women’s and children’s health.
This webinar will focus on raising awareness on the medical oxygen needs for women and children, highlighting the various medical oxygen delivery systems, and presenting a series of technical resources in PATH’s Oxygen Delivery Toolkit to scale up oxygen to meet those needs.
Oxygen access has been a long-neglected element of health system planning, despite being an essential treatment for a range of diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the role of medical oxygen as a lifesaving therapy. With the current investments being made in medical oxygen, there is an opportunity to leverage these investments to transition the pandemic response toward sustainable oxygen access for women and children. However, medical oxygen involves a complex delivery system that is challenging to scale up and maintain in many health facilities. PATH developed an Oxygen Delivery Toolkit to provide resources to address many of these challenges.
This webinar addresses primarily GFF country liaison officers and country platform representatives, as well as World Bank task team leaders, and other country stakeholders who support efforts to scale up essential health services for women and children
The seminar will be exclusively conducted on Zoom via this link.
We very much look forward to your participation.
