Coronavirus: cómo funciona el mercado del oxígeno y qué se puede hacer para evitar su escasez en medio de la pandemia

Writing for BBC News Mundo, Cecilia Barría covers the medical oxygen shortage that was worsened due to COVID-19.

Barría investigates the grave shortage of medical oxygen in low- and middle-income countries, focusing on the current crises in India and Latin America.
