Pakistan has developed its first locally made ventilator, which is priced at Rs3 million.
The company’s director, Akbar Allana, stated that the ventilator will soon be exported. The company has trained staff engaged in testing the components.
The quality control team conducted four types of testing over a period of 21 to 22 days, using artificial lungs for the assessments.
“100% of the ventilator’s design and 80% of its components are produced in Pakistan,” Allana said.
The ventilator will be available in the market from February, and its price is less than half that of imported ventilators.
The Pakistani ventilator met international standards and has already undergone clinical trials. It is expected to be exported soon to various countries, including Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
