A private business is said to have produced this idea, which is a significant milestone for Pakistan’s innovation industry and a component of the “Uraan Pakistan” policy, which promotes domestic technology.

Iqbal called the firm that made the ventilator a “champion of Uraan Pakistan” during the ceremony, and he emphasized the significance of similar initiatives to support Pakistan’s success in a world that is becoming more and more competitive. In order to propel progress, he urged the nation to cultivate a new generation of people who combine talent, ambition, and hard work.

In addition, Iqbal emphasized the unfavorable impression of Pakistan, admitting that, in spite of its diligent citizens, some forces have damaged the nation’s reputation abroad. In light of the fact that Pakistan will celebrate its 100th anniversary of independence in 2047, he urged everyone to work together to change the country’s future.

In light of the emergence of new technologies and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, he emphasized the value of innovation. Iqbal emphasized that while Pakistan has a lower population than some of its neighbors, it still has the ability to surpass them in technological achievements over the next 20 years.

Using prosperous countries like South Korea and Japan as examples, the minister emphasized the necessity of long-term changes and policy continuity. In the following eight to nine years, he planned to increase Pakistan’s exports from $30 billion to $100 billion. He urged the private sector to spearhead this endeavor, especially in the industrial and agricultural sectors.

In his closing remarks, Iqbal emphasized that innovation, entrepreneurship, and an export-driven economy are key to Pakistan’s economic future and urged the youth to adopt technology to assist the nation in competing internationally.

In other news, University of Karachi students created the smallest rechargeable nebulizer in the world in November 2024. This groundbreaking tool was made to provide patients with convenience and ease of usage while they are traveling or at work.

Asthma, respiratory disorders, chest infections, and lung diseases are on the rise due to increased pollution, which is driving up demand for portable medical devices. Because traditional nebulizers are frequently heavy and awkward to transport, patients may find it challenging to receive treatment while they are on the road.

In order to overcome this difficulty, a group of gifted students from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences developed a novel little nebulizer. Whether traveling or at business, this rechargeable gadget is a great option for emergencies because it is compact enough to pack in a bag.

The group responsible for this innovation consists of Tuba Saleem, Maham Zaidi, Priyan Khan, Zohaib Salman, Taha Ishaq, Syed Wali Uddin, Syeda Arshiya, and Abdul Rehman Siddiqui. Together, their efforts have produced a gadget that is particularly effective at relieving respiratory issues in patients while also being portable.
