LAHORE: Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (Paapam) has offered its manufacturing facilities as well as expertise for developing miscellaneous medical equipment locally, starting from ventilators.

According to a letter sent to the Engineering Development Board on Wednesday, the association said it extended support keeping in view the rapid spread of novel coronavirus in Pakistan and the rising need of ventilators in the country.

The auto parts manufacturing body also praised government’s initiatives to cope with the situation such as allowing duty and tax-free import of medical equipment and other goods on an immediate basis. “We heard about the request from various government forums to explore the possibility of manufacturing vital medical equipment like ventilators in Pakistan,” the letter added. “The list of other imported medical items is long and the manufacturing of these goods will be considered keeping in view the population of the country and the import bill.”

The association expressed its support for confronting the health-related challenges being faced by the nation at present. “The Engineering Development Board, being the entity which looks after us, is assured of our fullest cooperation in the ongoing efforts for the development and manufacturing of medical equipment and items,” the letter said.

The body specifically requested for being part of the government’s ongoing efforts for the manufacturing of medical equipment.

Bad idea. Ventilators will be three times as expensive and shoddy build quality. Worse the so called "auto makers" will not make the product in Pakistan but source cheap Chinese knocked down kits which they will assemble and then attach the label "Made in Pakistan".

Then they will take cheap photoshoots, jumping up and down like jangli.

Relax for a change. This is from auto parts makers not from auto makers. You want to set a full local supply chain to manufacture the whole machine? By the time it’s done the pandemic will be over and thousands will be dead. BTW PAF is starting manufacture of simple easy to manufacture ventilators. No fancy LCD displays but it delivers. Try to understand the criticality of the situation and learn analytical thinking.
