Setting up of Medical Oxygen Plant

At Vestitude Partners Limited, we believe healthcare transformation is possible when capital meets purpose
Project Overview?

Setting-up a Medical Oxygen Plant

Oxygen is a critical medical resource required for the treatment of patients with respiratory illnesses, surgical procedures, and emergency care. However, access to medical-grade oxygen in Nigeria remains inadequate, with many hospitals relying on expensive imported oxygen or suffering from supply chain disruptions.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant gaps in oxygen availability, leading to increased mortality rates. Additionally, conditions such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) require consistent oxygen therapy. The establishment of a modern oxygen plant will bridge this gap, ensuring a steady and reliable supply of oxygen to healthcare facilities across Nigeria.

This project aims to set up a state-of-the-art oxygen generation and distribution plant that will supply hospitals, clinics, and industries with high-quality oxygen. The plant will integrate advanced production technologies, energy-efficient systems, and a robust distribution network to enhance healthcare delivery and emergency response capacity.

Solution

Proposed Impact of the Medical Oxygen Plant in Nigeria

Improved Access to Medical Oxygen

The project will ensure a stable supply of medical-grade oxygen, reducing reliance on imports and addressing shortages in underserved areas. It will also provide affordable oxygen solutions for hospitals and emergency response teams.

Reduction in Mortality and Health Complications

The project will reduce deaths from respiratory illnesses and critical care shortages by ensuring reliable oxygen access. It will also support newborns, COVID-19 patients, and trauma cases with rapid emergency oxygen supply.

Job Creation and Economic Benefits

The project will create jobs in oxygen production and distribution while supporting industries that rely on oxygen. It will also lower healthcare costs by providing an affordable, locally-produced alternative to imports.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

The project will leverage renewable energy for sustainable oxygen production while minimizing environmental impact. It will also support research and innovation in oxygen generation and storage technologies.

Project Objectives

Establish a Modern Oxygen Production Facility
  • Construct a fully-equipped plant with cryogenic distillation, PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption), and other advanced oxygen production technologies.
Develop a Reliable Distribution Network
  • Supply oxygen cylinders, liquid oxygen, and pipeline distribution to healthcare facilities and industrial clients.
  • Establish regional refilling stations to enhance accessibility in remote areas.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance and Quality Assurance
  • Obtain necessary certifications from NAFDAC, SON, and the Federal Ministry of Health.
  • Implement strict quality control measures to ensure oxygen purity and safety.
Provide Training and Capacity Building
