Our milestones
-
Our experience in Healthcare began with the supply of oxygen to acute care hospitals, particularly in surgery and intensive care, and we have actively contributed to the process of medicalising the oxygen supply and logistics chain to guarantee its quality and safety for the patient. -
By taking care of patients undergoing oxygen therapy when they leave hospital, Air Liquide has initiated its homecare activity. The homecare services were then extended to other respiratory treatments to support people living with sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency.
-
We then broadened the range of our healthcare services to address a number of major public health issues, such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease. All these home treatments involve the use of a medical device and require a support plan for patients and their family.
