Oxygen emergency in Indonesia

Faced with the threat of the highly infectious strain which continues to exact a heavy toll in human tragedies and to disrupt sports events worldwide, the global vaccination drive is heating up.
On Tuesday, the United States began sending Vietnam two million doses, part of a first batch of 80 million doses that US President Joe Biden has pledged to allocate to countries struggling to tame the pandemic.

Why all the third-world nations like India and Indonesia, falsely claiming to be emerging powers are unable to provide, produce, handle and supply the basic commodity like oxygen to its patients, hospitals, clinics and the healthcare industry?

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad, They were not prepared for the pandemic that's why. Now India is prepared. Same thing happened to the US in the summer of 2020. Only China was prepared because they knew what was coming.
