BACKGROUND

Oxylife 2020 Uganda Limited is a pioneering healthcare company and the first of its kind in Uganda to manufacture and distribute medical grade oxygen certified and approved for human use. Now entering its fifth year of operations, Oxylife has built a credible foundation in an essential healthcare segment — ensuring a reliable, domestically produced supply of life-saving oxygen to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities across Uganda.

The company is at a critical and exciting inflection point. Having established its production infrastructure and obtained regulatory approval, Oxylife is now focused on aggressive market development, building brand presence across the healthcare sector, growing sales volumes, and expanding its distribution network nationally and into the wider East African region. The incoming CEO will lead this growth chapter.
