Fawad, Shibli differ over utility of local ventilators Top Story April 28, 2021 ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said Tuesday said Science and Technology Minister Shibli Faraz has perhaps not received presentation about utility of home-made ventilators. On Monday, newly-appointed Science and Technology Minister Shibli Faraz said locally produced ventilators are not useful and the country also lacked other resources including oxygen to deal with any emergency situation amid surging coronavirus cases. Fawad as science and technology minister had claimed that Pakistan had joined the ranks of those a few countries which are producing their own ventilators and added that a ventilator is a "complicated machine and not a lot of countries in the world have the capacity to make it".
