After Donation from Eneva, BNDES and Its Program Entitled “Matchfunding Saving Lives” the Delivery of the New Oxygen Plant for the Hospital of Roraima Happens Soon

The Matchfunding Saving Lives program from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) will deliver, in the coming days, an oxygen plant with a production capacity of 30 cubic meters per hour and storage cylinders with a capacity of 10 cubic meters to the General Hospital of Roraima, the largest public hospital in the capital Boa Vista. Scheduled for delivery by February 25, the plant can service up to 30 ICU beds for Covid-19.

Eneva, an integrated energy generation company, donated R$ 800 thousand to the Matchfunding Saving Lives program, which aims to match every real received with another real donated by the bank.

“BNDES and Eneva set a great example of how, together, we can save many lives,” said Marcus Cardoso Santiago, head of the Impact Relationship Department with the Corporate Sector at BNDES.

According to Health Secretary Marcelo Lopes, the plant has a production capacity of one thousand cubic meters per day – half of what the state currently needs. It produces O2 from electricity, and therefore, the secretary asserts that there should be no reduction in spending.

“The initiative came from Eneva, and we [government] knowing that they had ISO containers [metal boxes], requested their use to source oxygen from elsewhere because they served the state of Amazonas and offered to donate a plant,” Marcelo Lopes said.
