National Oxygen Scale-Up Framework Meeting: Road to Oxygen Access [1]

[]

Date: 2024-05-14

WHO is convening a global meeting in Dakar, Senegal, from 14 to 16 May – National Oxygen Scale-Up Framework Meeting: Road to Oxygen Access – to produce a template for developing evidence-based, inclusive and costed national plans for oxygen scale up. A broad range of decision-makers, implementers and advocates for oxygen will be convened via in-person and virtual participation, representing a unique opportunity for international knowledge exchange.

Objective

To explore and reach consensus on the necessary components for national oxygen scale-up efforts, in the form of a template, which can then be adapted to country context.

Methodology for template development

Participants will share best practice, highlight examples from current national scale-up efforts and identify existing resources, in order to maximize success. Plenary sessions will include effective partnerships; sustainable financing; workforce planning; needs identification; monitoring and evaluation; and integration with health programmes and across relevant sectors. Breakout groups will examine and discuss each topic in further detail. Participants’ input from each session will shape the final oxygen scale-up plan template.

Participants

Representatives of Member States from low- and middle-income countries and selected Small Island Developing States, global oxygen stakeholders, including nongovernment organizations, donor agencies, United Nations agencies, civil society organizations and additional bodies, as appropriate.

In-person participation is by invitation only and virtual participation is available during plenary sessions. Please register for virtual participation

Languages

The meeting will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation for Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish.
