| Danang students creat cabin transporting COVID-19 patients |
The cabin was made within one month at the request of the Lien Chieu district Medical Centre, aiming to serve the transportation needs of patients suspected or infected with COVID-19 within the hospital. It was handed over to the center since July 1.
The 80kg, 4-wheel device which features a maximum load of 200kg can be moved by using an electric scooter in the hospital’s premises or just manually pulling along corridors. The initial production cost of the product is estimated at VND60 million, and if mass production is conducted, the price will be reduced further.
Le Van Sy, director of the centre said that once it is put into use, the device will help facilitate the transportation of patients suspected of having COVID-19 from quarantine areas to wards for clinical examination, as well as from the wards where they are detected to the concentrated quarantine areas. It helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 and cross-contamination during travelling.
Earlier, lecturers and students of the University of Technology (Da Nang University) have also invented many products to serve the community in the prevention and control of COVID-19.
