Mercy and Compassion. ๐Ÿ’ก

These were the words Dr. Ostrea recalled as the guiding principles of their foundation when his team developed OstreaVent2โ„ขโ€”a Filipino-developed ventilator created during the pandemic to help address the shortage of ventilators in the country.

๐ŸŽฅ Sa loob lamang ng anim na buwan, sinagot ng grupo ni Dr. Ostrea ang panawagan sa kakulangan ng ventilator noong pandemya ng COVID-19. Guided by the belief to "light a candle inistead of cursing the darkness", his healthcare innovation help brought accessible and critical care to children and adults.

Sa edad na 84, pinatutunayan ni Dr. Ostrea na hindi hadlang ang edad sa patuloy na paglikha at paglingkod. His journey is a reminder that Filipinnovation can come in all shapes, sizes, and age. ๐Ÿš€

Ang OstreaVent2โ„ข ay isang FDA-approved adult ventilator na may kakayahang mag-monitor ng 3,000 breaths in real-time. Maari rin mapagana ito mula sa baterya, kaya napakalaking tulong nito tuwing may power outages o kapag kailangang i-transport ang pasyente. ๐Ÿฉบ

Orihinal na ginawa bilang tugon sa ventilator shortages noong COVID-19 pandemic, tinutulungan ng OstreaVent2โ„ข masolusyunan ang patuloy na pangangailangan ng bansa sa mga medical technology na abot-kaya at madaling i-maintain.

The National Innovation Council (NIC) Secretariat fully supports the government's continuing efforts to improve public service delivery under Republic Act No. 11032, otherwise known as the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.

Pursuant to Section 24 (Removing Barriers to Innovation) of Republic Act No. 11293, or the Philippine Innovation Act, the NIC is mandated to eliminate regulatory barriers and cut red tape. By streamlining these processes, we ensure that innovation efforts can flow more seamlessly across all sectors of the economy.

In line with this mandate, during its 9th meeting last year, the NIC reviewed DEPDev's Policy Reform Study on "Streamlining Business Registration, Renewal, and Exit Processes." This study addresses the administrative challenges that business enterprisesโ€”especially startups and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs)โ€”must navigate when starting, maintaining, and closing their operations.
