ZIMBABWE has scaled up the Covid-19 pandemic fight by constructing a medical oxygen plant at Feruka in Mutare.
The recently completed plant will be commissioned by President Mnangagwa tomorrow.
In an interview at the Feruka Plant today, Verify Engineering board chairman, Air Commodore Engineer Dr Edgar Kamusoko, said the completion of the medical oxygen plant will go a long way in scaling up the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Our health sector is in critical need of medical oxygen and we have the production capacity to meet our national requirements as well as export to neighbouring countries.
“The completion of this project is a clear demonstration of the capacity we have internally as Zimbabwe to develop our own economy. This project was wholly funded by Government and it is manned by Zimbabwean engineers and technicians. The completion of this project also demonstrates Government’s commitment to develop its own technology and industries,” he said.
Verify Engineering is a wholly State-owned company under the Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Ministry.
