What is Challenge Fund?
Supply of medical oxygen to public hospitals is under strain as the demand for the life-sustaining gas has increased multiple times over last few weeks, posing new challenges in the battle against the second wave of the coronavirus infections. The main problem is that medical oxygen is not reaching hospital beds in time. This delay is a product of where production units are located, a stretched distribution network. On the other hand, this second waves may come to us with many other digits if we don’t take necessary action right now.
It is a time for think tanks, researchers, academia, innovators and private organizations to come forward and work together to introduce an indigenous alternative oxygen sources that is Oxygen Concentrator and High Flow Nasal Cannula. We the iLab will provide the necessary funds, facilities and technically supports from all level to tackle this challenge and we deserve a solution as follows.
The present call intends to prioritize the following two challenges:
