Est. 2026 — Formerly Oxygen Alliance
Introducing our next chapter
The Reality
When Oxygen Alliance was founded in 2021, we set out to address a critical challenge at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic: non-functional medical oxygen systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These essential yet idle devices were contributing to preventable loss of life. As this work progressed, it became clear that oxygen equipment failures were not the root problem, but rather a visible symptom of a much broader systemic issue. Across many settings, up to 70% of biomedical equipment was non-functional, driven by limited maintenance capacity, shortages of spare parts, insufficiently trained biomedical personnel, and competing national priorities.
"We realised that fighting fires was the wrong strategy. We needed to strengthen the entire health system by focusing on equipment uptime."
Our Methodology
Three interlocking pillars that move us from reactive crisis response to proactive systemic change — building durable health infrastructure across LMICs.
Mobilize stakeholders and resources to drive policy change and strengthen the ecosystem.
(Stakeholder Engagement)
Generate and share data, and support continuous professional development.
(Situational Analysis, BEST-LMIC Journal, Webinars, Coaching and Mentorship)
Develop tools and solutions for the biomedical ecosystem.
(BME Konza App, STEP-BME)
