Abstract
monitoring using core oxygen coverage indicators [1].Success should be judged not by the number of concentrators purchased but by whether patients can receive reliable oxygen at the bedside across geography and levels of care.Somalia should now move from viewing oxygen as an emergency commodity to recognizing it as an essential public health infrastructure.Embedding oxygen systems within health-system strengthening, universal health coverage, and emergency preparedness would improve equity, strengthen resilience, and support safer care across maternal, child, surgical, emergency, and outbreak-related services.
