The Prime Minister appreciated Pakistanis regarding the fund.

On the other hand the contribution of Pakistani researchers, engineers and scientists did a miraculous job  toward attaining self-reliance in manufacturing of the essential medical equipment to fight Covid-19.

The equipment include:  masks, sanitizers, ventilators and oxygenators that shows Pakistan has brilliant minds in the science and technology sector.

The researchers and scientists of the country, once lagging behind in the science and technology sector, are now diligently working on manufacturing of such product.

Notably,  the equipment help save people against the pandemic with self-reliance instead of depending on the aid from other countries.

Soon after the pandemic outbreak, the researchers team of National University of Science and Technology (NUST) took lead in developing disinfecting tele-operated robots and aerial spraying drones for decontamination of spaces.

They also developed robust and cost-effective testing kits for detection of coronavirus, high-quality sanitizers for microbial control, thermal monitoring camera to detect without touching, bilingual COVID-19 self-screening app and ventilators systems for short term stabilization of the patients.

While Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) was tasked to work on manufacturing of indigenous ventilators which were in the process of licensing.
