Cerro Verde Donates Oxygen Generating Plant to Arequipa Hospital

August 18, 2020 - Freeport-McMoRan’s Cerro Verde operations continues to help address community health needs, recently donating an oxygen generating plant to Honorio Delgado Regional Hospital in Arequipa, Peru. The plant is able to generate 720 cubic meters of medical-grade oxygen each day – or enough for the hospital to expand care to an additional 50 COVID-19 patients – nearly double its previous capacity. Oxygen is critical for timely treatment of COVID-19 patients, but the surge in cases worldwide has led to increased demand and a subsequent shortage.
