CHAI is working to expand access to medical oxygen in five countries with the highest rates of mortality for pediatric pneumonia – India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda – with an emphasis on vulnerable groups such as newborns and children. In addition, we support governments and health administrators to improve hypoxemia screening, through training and access to critical tools like pulse oximeters, and in reforming national policies and financing to sustain these improvements. By driving better hypoxemia management in just these five countries, we can prevent 40,000 deaths every year, and cut hypoxemia-related deaths in half by 2025.
