@Ace of SpadesPakistan is working on production of local ventilators: Fawad Chaudhry
SAMAA | Naya Din - Posted: Mar 25, 2020 | Last Updated: 23 mins ago
Researchers across Pakistan are working on the production of indigenous ventilators, revealed Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry.
“Presently, all ventilators used inside the country are being procured from China by the National Disaster Management Authority,” he said on SAMAA TV’s programme Naya Din on Wednesday.
The total number of these machines at hospitals across the country is 2,200 of which 1,500 are in working condition. “We aim to double this amount to 3,000 for which it is necessary that we produce ventilators ourselves instead of importing them,” the minister said.
A decision regarding the matter will be taken during a meeting of the Pakistan Engineering Council today, he said. “I’m sure that we will be successful in this project,” Chaudhry said.
Separately, scientists and students have been working on developing coronavirus testing kits and hand sanitisers locally. They have been successful in doing so, according to the minister.
“We have been producing hand sanitisers ever since news of a shortage came out,” he said. “More than 1,500 bottles are being produced everyday and we are planning to increase the number to 8,000.”
A 100 millilitre bottle of hand sanitiser costs Rs450.
The National University of Science and Technology has also developed testing kits for COVID-19 locally. “We are waiting for final approvals after which the kits will be introduced in the market,” Chaudhry said.
He pointed that as these kits are cheaper than the imported ones, more people will be tested through them. The kits will cost Rs2,000, a quarter of the price of the ones being imported.
The minister added that a team led by Dr Attaur Rahman was also closely working with the World Health Organisation for the development of an anti-coronavirus vaccine.

Army is in action... this generates hope.
Ministers are good for nothing, just take their salaries and that of the ministries and distribute among soldiers, doing double duty. As well the budget of all state ministries should be added to defense budget.
It was NDMA head who organized this. Minister is just releasing the news trying to be relevant and this what we'll see a lot in coming days... ministers trying to be relevant, while army doing and organizing everything.
