Finally Pakistan Producing its Own Ventilators to fight with Covid_19
Currently,1,503 ventilators are available at government hospitals in Pakistan for treating COVID-19 patients.
Hospitals in major cities have already begun to report acute critical-care shortages,forcing them to turn away patients.
Pakistan has emerged as one of the countries with the fastest rate of coronavirus infections in recent weeks, according to the World Health Organization.
Pakistan reported its first Covid_19 case on February 26 and is now among the top 15 most-affected countries.
On Sunday it reported 4,072 new cases, taking the total to date to 202,955 with 4,118 deaths. More than 92,000, or 45 percent, of people infected have recovered whereas 2,805 are in critical condition at hospitals.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has opposed putting in place a far-reaching lockdown to battle the virus from the beginning,arguing that the country's economy could not afford it.
More than 100,000 new cases were reported during the last 20 days whereas government projections suggest the number may go up to 225,000 by June 30.
Officials say Pakistan is still at least a month away from the projected peak.
Violations of lockdown guidelines prompted authorities to seal markets, shopping malls and residential areas in several parts of the country.
Virus hotspots in 20 major cities have been under a 'smart lockdown' since June 14.
