Test kits and vaccines, as well as supporting academic information Research and Innovation Analyze data and follow up for the Medical Innovation Laboratory. And research and development Of the COVID-19 Situation Management Center (NESDB) by the National Research Agency (NRCT)

The Permanent Secretary said that it also plays an important role in providing medical services. And public health from more than 20 medical schools and university hospitals under the government agency nationwide To work with public health everywhere, prepare for the situation since the last outbreak and continue to the present.

CUUN Territory Co., Ltd. was established by Chulalongkorn University in accordance with the policy of the OWF, which developed a vaccine against COVID-19. From the plant leaves has been achieved at the laboratory level And ready to take another step in the production of vaccines themselves from the upstream, reducing the dependence on foreign imports in the “Vaccine for Thai People” project

Development of infection prevention products for healthcare workers By Department of Science Service: PPE Disposable Coverall Level 4 series innovation, we win for operations in conditions at risk of virus infection, the innovation of PPE (Isolation Grown) series, we fight for work in low to moderate risk conditions or Undergoing a bloody procedure The world’s first reusable type that can be washed and reused no less than 20 times, all of the innovations are recycled from PET bottles.

Preventive medical innovation series research project Diagnosis and treatment for COVID-19 infection By the Center of Excellence in Life Sciences (Public Organization) (NESDB): This includes WIN-Masks made from cloth coated with anti-virus nanoparticles, which can be washed 30 times, which have been produced and distributed to more than 200,000 medical personnel nationwide. Intelligent for diagnosis Chest X-ray images are analyzed for screening. Pneumonia from the COVID-19 virus, for example, shows that we can be completely self-sufficient.
