Prof. Dr. Mansour Hassan, President of Beni Suef University, announced today the completion of equipping the medical oxygen generating station at a total cost of 26 million pounds, as part of university's plan to develop university hospitals to provide the highest level of medical service to governorate's people in particular and Upper Egypt in general.
Prof. Dr. Mansour Hassan explained that the station works to produce and provide medical oxygen to meet the needs of all hospitals and units affiliated to the university while ensuring its continuity throughout the day as it depends on the surrounding air and not an external source, pointing out that the station provides the highest levels of safety by avoiding storage risks and worker errors. In addition, it directly helps to avoid the severe risk of relying on a source of supply outside the direct control of the hospital.
For his part, Dr. Atef Morsi, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, indicated that the station produces more than 120 cubic meters per hour, and helps in rationalization, as the cost of supplying oxygen gas is constantly increasing, especially in times of crisis, pointing out that the station has a separate building on an area of ??80 m and consisting of three floors.
Dr. Muhammad Shaaban Abul-Ela, Executive Director of Hospitals, pointed out that the station is the first of its kind at the level of university hospitals in all universities of the Republic, and aims to achieve self-sufficiency, as the actual production covers the consumed quantity, and saves more than 5 million pounds in expenditures per year, so It helps in spending rationalizing .
