They were donated by Changi Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Changi Airport Group (CAG) together with over 30 airport partners and many individual members of staff.
Airline partners Cargolux and Singapore Airlines and logistics partners SATS and CEVA Logistics moved the oxygen concentrators from Los Angeles to Singapore and on to Jakarta.
The oxygen concentrators take in ambient air and remove nitrogen from it, giving the patient oxygen-enriched air, relieving them of respiratory distress caused by a drop in oxygen levels.
Lee Seow Hiang, CEO of CAG says: “We stand with the people of Indonesia during this difficult time and sincerely hope that our contribution will go some way towards saving precious lives.”
His Excellency Suryo Pratomo, Indonesian ambassador to Singapore adds: “No single country can fight this pandemic alone, so strong cooperation is needed. Indonesia and Singapore have showcased the true meaning of ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’.”
