Kojo Oppong Nkrumah
Honourable Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Minister for Information has taken to twitter to commend the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for commencing the production of ventilators.
“It’s exciting to note that researchers at KNUST have announced the local production of a local ventilator. In the coming days, we will have to engage and get the necessary approvals to procure and use some if need be”. He wrote.
The Minister’s comments come days after the College of Engineering (CoE), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) held a demonstration exercise to explain the working operation of a home-made prototype ventilator.
“The purpose of the demonstration exercise is to outdoor to stakeholders what the University is doing from its own perspective to augment access to quality healthcare delivery. We think this home-made ventilator could be of utmost importance to patients with breathing deficiencies and disorders if the project is taken up for further development, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic,” Professor Mark Adom-Asamoah, Provost of the College, noted.
The medical equipment, which is in the advanced stages of development, is a collaborative work between the College’s Computer Engineering Department and Michigan Technological University.
