Management wishes to categorically assure our clients and the general public that TTH has adequate oxygen supply to support all clinical services, and there is currently no disruption to oxygen availability within the facility.

“It is important to clarify that one of the hospital’s oxygen plants is presently undergoing technical repairs. However, this development has not compromised the hospital’s ability to supply oxygen to patients. The other oxygen plants remain fully operational and continue to supply oxygen.”
