Introduction
South Africa’s ongoing load shedding crisis has made life incredibly difficult for individuals relying on medical oxygen therapy. Frequent power outages disrupt essential medical devices like oxygen concentrators, putting patients at serious risk.
But there’s a powerful solution: Portable oxygen devices provide the freedom, reliability, and independence that oxygen users need—without worrying about electricity failures.
At Respocare, we have been the leaders in portable oxygen solutions, ensuring that patients continue receiving uninterrupted oxygen therapy, no matter the circumstances. In this blog, we’ll explore:
How load shedding affects oxygen therapy and patient health
Why portable oxygen devices are the best solution for power disruptions
How Respocare delivers the best service and devices to fit every individual’s needs
Challenge #1: Load Shedding & Oxygen Dependence – A Dangerous Mix
For thousands of South Africans who rely on oxygen therapy, power cuts are more than just an inconvenience—they are a direct threat to health and safety.
Oxygen concentrators stop working when power is out, leaving patients without access to life-saving oxygen.
Battery backups are temporary, and constant recharging is impractical with extended load shedding schedules.
Hospital visits increase, causing stress for both patients and healthcare providers.
The Solution: Portable Oxygen Devices That Don’t Rely on Eskom’s Power Grid
Portable oxygen concentrators and oxygen cylinders provide uninterrupted oxygen therapy regardless of power outages.
Challenge #2: Restoring Freedom with Portable Oxygen
Beyond just combatting load shedding, patients deserve freedom and mobility. Traditional oxygen concentrators keep users tethered to one spot, but portable oxygen devices allow unrestricted movement and independence.
