Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday called for harnessing the potential of the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) to advance national manufacturing and production capacities in order to meet local market and export needs.

During a visit to KADDB, accompanied by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, King Abdullah stressed the need to continue research and development to manufacture ventilators, and support youth who have presented ideas on producing medical equipment.

His Majesty checked on the levels and capacities to produce medical supply, calling for ramping up production.

Also during the visit, the King was shown the prototypes of ambulances, disinfection tunnels, and the production lines of face shields, medical coveralls, and testing kits, in addition to a simulation model that predicts infection rates, analyses data, and provides information for decision makers.

His Majesty listened to a briefing by KADDB Chairman Mazen Kawar, who noted that the bureau is working with the private sector on its production lines of medical masks and coveralls to exchange knowledge and experience.

Kawar said KADDB has started manufacturing disinfectant tunnels to be placed at the entrances of institutions, and is currently working to ramp up production of medical supplies.

KADDB has also begun testing the manufacturing of ventilators, and will be cooperating with youth who have presented ideas to produce them, under the supervision of the Royal Scientific Society and the Crown Prince Foundation, according to Kawar.
