The Lancet Global Health Commission report details for the first time how future investment in strengthening medical oxygen systems could have a huge impact by saving millions of lives and improving pandemic preparedness.

More than five billion people, 60 per cent of the world's population, don't have access to safe and affordable medical oxygen services.

Every year 374 million children and adults need medical oxygen, including 364 million patients with acute medical and surgical conditions.

The report comes after it was announced MCRI would partner with 12 countries in the Pacific and Southeast Asia under a $10 million initiative to improve child and adolescent health across the region.

The Australian Government has awarded MCRI a strategic grant as part of its Partnerships for a Healthy Region Initiative .

The three-year funding will be used to establish the ReALiSE program.
