Iqela elingenzi nzuzoAmaqabane kwiMpilo-PIHIjolise ekunciphiseni inani labantu ababhubhayo ngenxa yokungabikho kweoksijini kwezonyango ngenkqubo entsha yokufakela nokugcina izityalo zeoksijini. Yakha inkonzo ye-oksijini edibeneyo yesizukulwana esilandelayo ethembekileyo. I-BRING O2 yiprojekthi ye-R8 yezigidi zeerandi eza KUZISA ioksijini eyongezelelweyo yezonyango kwiindawo zasemaphandleni ezikude kwihlabathi liphela. Kule mimandla, malunga nomntu omnye kwabahlanu abosulelwe yi-COVID-19 basengozini ngenxa yokunqongophala kweoksijini ekumgangatho wezonyango efumaneka lula kwizibhedlele nakwizibonelelo zempilo, kwaye abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi bafa minyaka le nangaphambi kobhubhane, ngokutsho kwe-Partners in Health. UDkt. Paul Sonenthal, umphandi okhokelayo kunye nomlawuli oncedisayo wenkqubo ye-BRING O2 ye-Partners in Health, uyavuma ukuba zimbalwa izinto ezibuhlungu ngaphezu kokubukela isigulane sisokola ukuphefumla. “Ndikhe ndaya esibhedlele apho zonke izigulane zazihleli zithe nkqo,” utshilo. Uphefumla kancinci kuba itanki yaso yeoksijini ayinanto.” “Xa ufaka itanki entsha yeoksijini kwaye ubabukele bebuyela ebhedini kancinci, lixesha elifanelekileyo. Ukuba ungafaka isixhobo seoksijini esifanelekileyo ukuze oku kungenzeki kwakhona, ngoko ke kungcono kakhulu, yinkqubo ye-BRING O2 leyo.” Njengenxalenye yale nkqubo, kuza kufakelwa okanye kugcinwe izityalo ezingama-26 zePSA kumazwe amane “ahlwempuzekileyo” apho iPartners in Health isebenza khona. Sisebenzisa izixhobo ezikhethekileyo zokufunxa amanzi, isixhobo esilingana ne-minivan siza kuvelisa ioksijini ecocekileyo ngokwahlula iigesi emoyeni. Ekubeni isityalo esinye seoksijini sinokubonelela ngeoksijini eyaneleyo kwisibhedlele sonke sengingqi, le nkqubo inokubonelela ngonyango olubalulekileyo olusindisa ubomi kumawaka ezigulane. I-Partners in Health ithenge izityalo ezimbini zeoksijini eziza kufakelwa kwiSibhedlele saseChikwawa Regional eMalawi nakwiSibhedlele saseButaro Regional eRwanda, kwaye ezinye izityalo ze-psa ziya kuhlaziywa kulo lonke elase-Afrika nasePeru. Ukunqongophala okukhulu kweoksijini yezonyango kumazwe anengeniso ephantsi naphakathi kwihlabathi liphela kubonakalisa ukungalingani okukhulu ekunikezelweni kweoksijini kwihlabathi liphela, oku kubangele uRobert Matiru, umlawuli wenkqubo ye-Unitaid, enoxanduva lokuxhasa ngezimali i-BRING O2, ukuba abonise ukunqongophala kweoksijini yezonyango njengento “embi” yobhubhane. “I-Hypoxia yayiyeyona ngxaki inkulu kwiinkqubo ezininzi zokhathalelo lwempilo kwihlabathi liphela ngaphambi kokuba ubhubhane kwaye i-COVID-19 yenze ingxaki ibe mandundu kakhulu,” wongeze watsho. “I-Unitaid kunye ne-Partners in Health bayavuya nge-BRING O2 kuba kanye le msantsa ibinzima ukuyivala ixesha elide kangaka.” KwiNgqungquthela yeGesi yezeMpilo yeHlabathi yeGesi ka-2022 yakutshanje, uMatirou utyhile ukuba i-UNPMF ityale amashumi ezigidi zeerandi ukunceda ekuqhubeleni phambili iinkqubo zovavanyo kunye nonyango lwe-COVID-19 ezisindisa ubomi. “I-COVID-19 ithwaxe ihlabathi ngengxaki enkulu yezempilo kwihlabathi liphela kule nkulungwane,” utshilo. Ityhila indlela ebuthathaka nebuthathaka ngayo inkqubo ye-oksijini yezonyango kumazwe aphantsi, aphakathi kunye nanengeniso ephezulu. Ngokutyala imali kwi-oksijini, eqatshelwa njengomqolo wenkqubo ye-ecosystem enempilo, amaziko ayakwazi ukuphuhlisa nokuphucula iimarike ezivelisa izisombululo ezintsha.
