Also during the visit to the hospital, Stober donated an oxygen concentrator to aid in the hospital’s oxygen therapy treatments.
The portable concentrator is a medical device which aids in the provision of extra oxygen to patients and is easier to use and better able to provide a reliable source of oxygen for most patients than the oxygen cylinder.
The concentrator was received by staff of Whisper’s Magical Children’s Hospital led by Dr. Emem Offong, the medical director.
“We are very grateful for this kind donation from Stober, whose offer to assist the hospital with our Wi-Fi communications came as a pleasant surprise. Being able to have our systems networked and connected will go a long way in helping us to provide high level quality medical care to the vulnerable and underserved mothers and children in the Jinja community,” said Dr.Offong.
