Emilio Aguinaldo College is pleased to announce that its Research and Development project, known as the ADIRAM project, has successfully secured grant funding from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-NCR). The project has been awarded P215,600.00 through the Regional Grants-in-Aid (RGIA) Program.
About the ADIRAM Project:
This research project was developed to address the critical shortages of conventional ventilators and respiratory support equipment, a challenge that was laid bare during the COVID-19 pandemic. ADIRAM aims to identify and tackle significant gaps in respiratory care, ensuring that accessible and alternative respiratory solutions are available for households, healthcare facilities, and health responders. This project is crucial in helping to reduce mortality rates and alleviate the pressure on our overwhelmed healthcare system.
