    The United nations children’s fund UNICEF has handed over the world’s first fully solar-powered Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen Gas Plant to the Jericho Specialist Hospital, Ibadan  Oyo State.

    The innovative solution, created by Em-One, emerged as the winner of UNICEF’s innovation challenge and was funded by the Government of Norway and other partners.

    Alongside Oyo State, another fully solar-powered plant will soon be handed over in Kano state, showcasing a revolutionary approach to sustainable healthcare.

    In addition to the oxygen plant, UNICEF has furnished an advanced Level-2 newborn unit in the same hospital,to provide specialized medical attention and care for small and/or sick newborns with severe complications.

    The unit will be supported by oxygen produced from the plant, enhancing the hospital’s capacity to provide comprehensive care for vulnerable patients, funded by generous contributions from The Gates Foundation.

    According to UNICEF representative in Nigeria Ms. Cristian Munduate, the innovative solution was made possible through partnership with the Government of Norway and the ingenuity of Em-One.

    “ marks a significant advancement in our mission to provide reliable and sustainable healthcare solutions. This plant will ensure that children and other patients receive uninterrupted, life-saving oxygen,”

    “On behalf of UNICEF, I am proud to inaugurate this pioneering solar-powered oxygen plant in Oyo State”

    The Oyo State governor Engineer Seyi Makinde expressed gratitude for the transformative addition to the states healthcare infrastructure.

    “The handover of this state-of-the-art Oxygen Gas Plant is a monumental achievement for Oyo State. We deeply appreciate the efforts of UNICEF, HIS Towers, and the Governments of Canada and Norway. This is in line with the Oyo States’ Omituntun 2.0 commitment to ensuring that every citizen has access to quality healthcare”

    “This plant will significantly enhance our capacity to provide essential medical care, ensuring our healthcare system’s resilience and sustainability,”

    The oxygen generation plant is designed to provide a consistent and adequate supply of oxygen to the hospital, essential for patients with respiratory issues, post-surgical patients, those in intensive care, and others needing supplemental oxygen.

    By producing oxygen on-site using solar power, the hospital can reduce its dependency on external suppliers, resulting in greater autonomy, cost efficiency, and minimized risk of supply chain disruptions, ensuring continuous patient care.

    The oxygen plants are among many being constructed by UNICEF, with generous support from HIS Towers, and governments of Canada, and Norway.

    However, oxygen plants have been constructed and handed over to state governments in Ogun, Kaduna, Cross Rivers and Ebonyi. Additional plants in Bauchi, Yobe, Rivers, and Kano are in the final stages of completion and will be handed over to state governments in 2024.
