At the worst moment of the health emergency, up to 300 tanks were sold a day, currently, between 3 and 5 are bought a day.
The sale of oxygen tanks in Guayaquil has decreased in recent months, currently between 3 and 5 tanks are bought daily. The picture is very different at the beginning of the pandemic, when up to 300 tanks were sold a day.
The serious situation that Guayaquil went through at the beginning of the health emergency was decisive, so that at this time the hospitals have a basic resource such as oxygen and people no longer have to buy a tank in private premises.
On the other hand, the municipal authorities have communicated that the Bicentennial Hospital has 15 oxygen tanks of 6 cubic meters with 4 concentrators that supply 115 available beds.
The council also confirmed that there are Day Hospitals with tubing oxygen from 8 to 10 beds. Additionally, there are also mobile clinics that attend to primary cases.
The oxygen tanks are priced at USD 200 or 300, while their recharge ranges from USD 30 to USD40. The sellers of this product comment that there is no longer such demand and that currently between 5 and 7 customers arrive daily.
