Medical Oxygen Supply Dataset
Abstract
This dataset provides 30,000 simulated facility-level observations (10,000 per scenario) of medical oxygen availability, delivery infrastructure, pulse oximetry access, and patient outcomes across three tiers of healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa. Each record represents one facility observation for one monthly period, capturing 40+ variables including oxygen source type, concentrator and cylinder status, pulse oximetry functionality, patient oxygen demand and coverage, hypoxemia-related mortality, shortage root causes, and logistics metrics. Three scenarios model the oxygen access gradient: referral hospital (82% availability), district hospital (50%), and rural health centre (12%).
This dataset is entirely simulated. It must not be used for clinical decision-making or procurement.
1. Introduction
1.1 The Medical Oxygen Crisis
Medical oxygen is classified as an essential medicine by the World Health Organization, yet sub-Saharan Africa faces a profound and chronic oxygen deficit. According to analysis by the Institute for Transformative Technologies and Oxygen Hub, most SSA countries have less than 10% of the oxygen volume needed to treat high-burden conditions including childhood pneumonia, COPD, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and severe malaria (Oxygen Hub/ITT, 2021). COVID-19 both exacerbated and exposed this gap, triggering emergency investments that remain insufficient for sustained coverage.
1.2 Supply Infrastructure
Historically, the dominant oxygen supply method in SSA has been compressed gas cylinders filled from cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOX) plants — facilities originally built for industrial applications and concentrated in capital cities. The medical oxygen market is dominated by a small number of LOX providers exhibiting monopolistic tendencies, with nearly 6 in 10 SSA countries dependent on a single supplier (PMC, 2022; PMC9771461).
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) plants have emerged as a decentralised alternative, but maintenance failures are endemic. As of October 2022, at least 165 PSA plants globally needed repair, of which 151 (92%) were located in sub-Saharan Africa (PMC, 2022; PMC9771461). The WHO distributed over 30,000 oxygen concentrators worldwide, yet SSA faces significant challenges related to maintenance, spare parts, and reliable power supply (BMC Health Services Research, 2025; doi:10.1186/s12913-025-12315-6).
1.3 Availability at the Facility Level
A systematic assessment found that approximately half of health facilities in resource-limited settings had either no or inconsistent supply of medical oxygen and pulse oximeters, with the situation worst in the poorest countries of sub-Saharan Africa (PMC, 2024; PMC11082622). A scoping review of oxygen delivery systems for adults in SSA documented hypoxemia prevalence ranging from 11% to 89% across study populations, with high mortality among those with undetected or untreated hypoxemia (PMC, 2021; PMC8109278).
1.4 Pulse Oximetry: The Detection Gap
Oxygen therapy depends on the ability to detect hypoxemia. Pulse oximetry is the essential screening tool, yet availability is profoundly limited at lower facility levels. Without pulse oximetry, clinical recognition of hypoxemia relies on subjective signs (cyanosis, respiratory distress) that are unreliable, particularly in dark-skinned patients and neonates. The absence of pulse oximetry means that many hypoxemic patients are never identified and never receive oxygen.
1.5 Patient Impact and Mortality
Untreated hypoxemia carries high case fatality rates. Childhood pneumonia with hypoxemia has mortality rates of 35–55% without oxygen therapy in LMIC settings, compared with 5–15% when oxygen is provided. Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, severe malaria, and sepsis all require oxygen as a life-saving intervention. The oxygen-attributable mortality burden in SSA is estimated in the hundreds of thousands annually.
1.6 Rationale for This Dataset
Despite growing investment post-COVID, no open, standardised dataset integrates oxygen source infrastructure, equipment functionality, pulse oximetry access, patient-level demand and coverage, and mortality outcomes into a single analytical resource. This dataset fills that gap for supply chain modelling, equipment investment prioritisation, and health systems research.

2.2 Scenario Design
Scenario A — Referral/Teaching Hospital: PSA plant or LOX bulk tank, piped oxygen system, ICU/NICU, pulse oximetry, biomedical technician, reliable power with generator backup. Analogous to Muhimbili (Tanzania), Kenyatta (Kenya), Mulago (Uganda).
Scenario B — District Hospital: Oxygen concentrators and/or portable cylinders, limited pulse oximetry (35% have device, 40% functional), no ICU, clinical officer manages oxygen, unreliable power. Analogous to district hospitals in Malawi, Rwanda, Mozambique.
Scenario C — Rural Health Centre: No permanent oxygen source (70% have none), no pulse oximetry, nurse-managed, no power grid. Occasional cylinder if transport available. Analogous to health centres in Niger, DRC, South Sudan, rural Ethiopia.

5. Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset(
"electricsheepafrica/medical-oxygen-supply",
"district_hospital"
)
df = dataset["train"].to_pandas()
# Oxygen coverage gap analysis
df['coverage_pct'] = df['patients_received_oxygen'] / df['patients_needing_oxygen'].clip(lower=1) * 100
print(df.groupby('primary_oxygen_source')['coverage_pct'].mean())
5.1 Suggested Analyses
- Oxygen access prediction: Classify facilities at risk of stockout from infrastructure and logistics features.
- Mortality modelling: Quantify the relationship between oxygen availability, pulse oximetry, and hypoxemia deaths.
- Equipment investment: Compare cost-effectiveness of concentrators vs cylinders vs PSA plants by facility type.
- Power dependency: Model the impact of electrification and solar deployment on oxygen availability.
6. Limitations
- Simulated: Not from real oxygen surveys or health management information systems.
- No temporal dynamics: Cross-sectional observations, not longitudinal supply chain tracking.
- Simplified mortality: Deaths are modelled from a single probability rather than full clinical pathways.
- No ambient conditions: Altitude, temperature, and humidity effects on concentrator performance not modelled.
- No cost granularity: Unit costs for cylinders, concentrators, and PSA are approximated, not market-specific.
