Greater Manchester Police said people would "quite rightly share our disgust" at the theft during the coronavirus pandemic.
Three men were seen getting out of a black BMW outside Withington Community Hospital on Saturday at 03:30 GMT.
They cut a lock on a metal unit before stealing eight oxygen and nitrous oxide canisters.
The south Manchester hospital is not believed to be treating any coronavirus patients.
Insp Andrew Hughes said: "We're determined to find those responsible for this crime, and I'd appeal to anyone with information or who may be able to assist us with dash-cam footage to come forward as soon as possible."
