The Rotary Club of Monrovia has dedicated a medical oxygen facility valued at nearly US$200,000 to the ELWA Hospital. //
She noted that the oxygen plant has been piped to connect to the hospital building and will supply oxygen for surgical wards and emergency rooms. The plant will also be capable of supplying medical grade oxygen-filled cylinders for other health facilities at a reasonable cost.
Jason Troxell, who serves as the CEO of ELWA Hospital, also used the opportunity to thank the groups for choosing the ELWA Hospital for their project.
