ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is now on the list of countries that manufacture ventilators.
Minister for Science Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said that the first consignment of locally manufactured ventilators would be handed over to the National Disaster Management Authority NDMA this week.
In a message posted on Twitter, he congratulated the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation and said that three more designs are in the last phase.
الحمدللہ #MadeInPakistan #ventilators کی پہلی کھیپ NDMA کو اس ہفتے حوالے ہو جائیگی، #NRTC کو بہت مبارک اگلے تین ڈیزائن بھی آخری مراحل میں ہیں جس کے بعد ہم دنیا کے ان چند ممالک میں شامل ہوں گے جو پیچیدہ میڈیکل مشینیں بناتے ہیں، یہ تمام مشینیں EU Standards کے مطابق ہیں
