在每一個轉折中尋找靈感

巴基斯坦相對於心髒病發作，心力衰竭和其他心臟疾病而言，處於非常不穩定的境地，因為這些是我國死亡的主要原因。每小時，巴基斯坦有46人死於心髒病。儘管國家對心血管設備和植入物的需求不斷增長，但巴基斯坦完全依賴進口的心臟設備。由於成本高昂，只有20％的患病人群可以使用進口設備，從而使其餘80％的人無法獲得可改善其健康和預期壽命的治療。

N-ovative Health Technologies（NHT）Pvt Ltd根據總理府和巴基斯坦最高法院的特別指示在伊斯蘭堡國立科學技術大學（NUST）成立，N-ovative Health Technologies（NHT）Pvt Ltd致力於創建滿足眼前需求的醫療保健解決方案該國特別重視節省寶貴的外匯，金額達85億巴基斯坦盧比，每年進口心臟支架和導管，以及通過出口產生外匯。

NHT是最先進的醫療設備製造工廠，致力於醫療技術的研發以及大規模生產救生醫療設備和植入物，例如裸金屬支架，藥物洗脫支架，血管成形術球囊導管，診斷性血管造影導管，呼吸機等，其價格僅為進口版本的一小部分。

該設施由科學技術部（MoST）贊助，授權本地生產具有成本效益的高質量醫療設備，並由巴基斯坦證券交易與委員會（SECP）成立為一家公共部門公司。 NHT已通過歐盟委員會公告機構的ISO 13485：2016認證，並獲得了巴基斯坦藥品監督管理局（DRAP）的批准。

History of Department

In 2006 Dr. Murtaza Najabat Ali while working in UK University developed a low-cost stent and inform President of Pakistan about its significant potential benefits for the deprived segments of the society. In 2007 he joined NESCOM on invitation of Chairman (Dr. Samar Mubarakmand) and established a pilot production plant where the initial R&D was carried out and Bare Metal Stent (stainless steel) was developed in collaboration with AFIC. In 2009 Dr. Murtaza Najabat Ali left for UK because NESCOM did not intend to take the established pilot-scale facility to the next level (i.e., commercial scale production). In 2013 Dr. Murtaza returned from UK & joined NUST to establish Bio medical engineering dept. at SMME where extensive research on medical devices technology was initiated. In 2014 effort was initiated with NESCOM for the transfer of stent production technology at NUST. In 2015 MoST approved Rs. 33 Million PC-1 for the establishment of facility to manufacture Angioplastry Balloon (PTCA) Catheters at NUST In 2016, the entire stent production technology worth RS. 55 Million located in NESCOM was transferred to NUST through MoST.In 2017, P.M Office and Supreme Court of Pakistan took notice of implanting substandard stents in patients in Punjab and gave Rector NUST and Dr. Murtaza a mandate to submit a new PC-1 related to the development of purpose-built Medical Devices Development Center (MDDC) at NUST.

In 2017, a PC-1 of worth Rs. 331.12 Million was approved by MoST . In 2017, core production team obtained training from the industrial partner in Germany. In 2017, the entire Production Technology (production and testing machines) were procured from industrial partners in Germany. In 2019 all the prerequisites pertaining to the international and national certification/lisencing of both production facility and products were successfully completed. In 2020, a state-of-the-art stent manufacturing facility was established and PC-IV against Rs. 331.12M was submitted to MoST.

During the completion of PC-1 related to the establishment of MDDC Project, Federal Government gave the following directives:

Take this project to the regular side (i.e. regular Operational Budget should be provided) and a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in the form of Public Sector Company mode should be established for the commercialization of the MDDC Products.
Upscaling of production capacity in future with the help of Private Sector Partnership.
After the successful completion of PC-1, SPV in the form of Public Sector Company Mode as per the directives of Federal Government (N-ovative Health Technologies- NHT) was incorporated in July 2020 with Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP)

On 16th October 2020, Prime Minister Imran Khan inaugurated the N-ovative Health Technology Facility at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST).
