Given the urgency and importance of this issue for the country, Deputy Prime Minister Oleh Urusky had a substantive discussion with representatives of the State Enterprise "Production Association "Southern Machine-Building Plant", LLC "PCC "Cryoprom" and "Telekard-Prilad" LLC regarding the development and manufacture of domestic gasifiers and concentrators to meet the needs of hospitals.

"Southern Machine-Building Plant" in cooperation with PCC "Cryoprom", using their production experience, confirmed the possibility of developing and manufacturing in Ukraine a line of domestic gasifiers with a volume of 3 to 20 cubic meters.

Currently, the state is taking steps to provide oxygen concentrates and oxygen cylinders to Ukrainian hospitals. Domestic scientific and production potential is involved in this important task.
