NEW DELHI: India will now export indigenous ventilators, the government said on Saturday.
The Group of Ministers (GOM) on covid-19 on Saturday considered and agreed to the proposal of the ministry of health & family welfare allowing the export of made-in-India ventilators.
This decision has been communicated to the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) for further needed action to facilitate the export of indigenously manufactured ventilators.
“This significant decision comes on the heels of India continuing to maintain a progressively declining low rate of case fatality of covid-19 patients, which currently stands at 2.15%, which means that fewer numbers of active cases are on ventilators. As on 31 July 2020, only 0.22% of the active cases were on ventilators across the country," said a statement from Union health ministry.
