Munduate highlighted that the oxygen plant marks a significant milestone in UNICEF’s commitment to improving maternal, newborn, and child health in the region. He emphasized that the plant would provide crucial life-saving treatment for newborns and children suffering from pneumonia and other respiratory conditions.


Additionally, the newly established Level 2 Newborn Unit at Azare General Hospital, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, is expected to drastically reduce neonatal mortality rates and enhance health outcomes for vulnerable children. Munduate urged that the unit be staffed with qualified healthcare professionals.
