The hospital in Kommunarka buys medical oxygen a year ahead for 176 million rubles.

The contractor will have to confirm the legality of the production and turnover of liquid medical oxygen in the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as guarantee the quality of the delivered goods.

Earlier in 2021, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov announced a shortage of medical oxygen production capacities in Russia, as a result of which the country is forced to purchase it abroad. The minister explained that the four main producers in Russia work with a full load, producing 1.5 thousand tons of oxygen per day. More than 90% of the capacities of these enterprises have been transferred to its production. Also involved are chemical, metallurgical, oil refineries, shipbuilding, nuclear industry and defense industry enterprises, which transfer more than 100 tons of daily technical oxygen to medical.

In July 2021, First Deputy Minister of Industry Vasily Osmakov asked Russian metallurgical companies to reduce the consumption of technical oxygen in order to increase the supply of medical oxygen to hospitals.

In August 2021, the Government of the Russian Federation allocated 650 million rubles from the federal budget for the purchase of oxygen concentrators to provide respiratory therapy for patients with COVID-19 for 20 hospitals in the regions of the Russian Federation.^[1].
