What we do
Oxygen Hub works with local entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa to power the production and distribution of affordable medical oxygen.
Oxygen Hub’s franchise model
Our franchising model solves the commercial viability and scalability challenges blocking entrepreneurs from providing better access to oxygen.
