As a young Cameroonian engineer, he has just presented this discovery which allows medical oxygen to be produced from electricity or ambient air. A breakthrough in the treatment of coronavirus patients in Cameroon.

This Wednesday, July 8, 2020, in the Ahala district in Yaounde, young engineers are active at the headquarters of the production unit. At the entrance of the structure, two pieces of white equipment set the tone: "It is a station for the production of medical oxygen connected. It is called Oxynnet: Oxygen National Network," an engineer informs us. It is the new invention of the Cameroonian Arthur Zang.

After his Cardio-Pad medical tablet, the young engineer is right in the field of medical equipment. This time he opted to help hospitals in the production of medical oxygen. A great initiative that allows the care of people suffering from respiratory distress, in these times of coronavirus.  For him, Oxynnet is a system made up of several medical oxygen production stations.

Intellectual capacity

"Each station is electronic and chemical equipment that produces 95% pure medical oxygen. In Cameroon today, medical oxygen is sold in cylinder form," explains Arthur Zang. We then learn that a single bottle "costs 40 000 F and corresponds to four hours of breathing for a patient. So the patient pays about 10 000 F per hour. That's how it is for the Covid, but also for other respiratory problems," says one engineer.

For this production unit, the young team of engineers is ready to produce these stations in very large numbers. But for the time being, the financial resources and the support of the public authorities are still welcome to achieve the objective. The intellectual capacity is there. "As soon as we get an order, we will deliver," concludes Arthur Zang.
