advocate
By ensuring more oxygen equipment is fit for purpose, we can take a significant step towards closing the oxygen equity gap. We finally have the evidence on what works. We need to get the Oxygen Concentrator Directory into the hands of those who can use it.
These are the three steps you can take to advocate for oxygen access:
Tag someone in the launch post
We’re sharing news of the Oxygen Concentrator Directory on LinkedIn, but we can only reach so many people. Help others in your network discover the oxygen concentrator directory and make decisions based on robust test results 👇🏼
Share the directory with someone who can act
The biggest change comes from direct actions from those with power to make them. Share the Oxygen Concentrator Directory with your network to help the evidence reach those with purchasing, influencing or decision-making power👇🏼

Dear [name],
I wanted to share the new Oxygen Concentrator Directory with you, commissioned by the Oxygen CoLab.
We know that trying to understand what the best concentrator for low-resource settings has always been difficult, decision-makers have had to navigate a sea of options without the clear, evidence-based information they need to make the best choices for their health systems and patients.
Hopefully that can now change. With the Oxygen Concentrator Directory, you can explore 11 tested concentrators, with reliable data on performance, safety, usability, repairability, electrical resilience, energy efficiency and cost—all in one place.
I’d love you to take a look, tell me what you think and if this can help you with your decision making on the purchasing, plans for maintenance, and ability to advocate for technology suited to your needs.
Invite us to speak with your team
We can support you to take action, so email us to schedule a time to keep exploring the importance of data-driven decisions in oxygen concentrator procurement. This is only one part of a far bigger mission, and you’re invited to join.👇🏼
