Two mobile oxygen production stations are established at Military Hospital 175.

According to the Air Defence- Air Force Service, each station has a daily capacity of filling up between 40 and 60 oxygen cylinders, with each one able to extract 40 litres at a pressure of 150 kg/cm2. Stations will consist of six staff members, including two drivers and four electricians.

Factory A41 of the Air Defence- Air Force Service will deploy three on-site liquid oxygen production lines with a capacity of approximately 4,300 oxygen cylinders in the southern city.

The factory presented 1,000 40-litre oxygen cylinders on August 18 to 12 field hospitals and COVID-19 treatment facilities in HCM City.
