Taking in to account a basic concept mooted by an inventor, Mr. Thushara Kelum Wadasinghe, the Navy’s Research and Development Unit developed a remote-controlled smart appliance called ‘Medi Mate’ in a bid to treat and test COVID-19 patients, allowing healthcare workers to remain at a safe distance from the highly infectious virus.
This smart appliance developed under Navy’s patronage was handed over for the use of Dr. Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital today (08th April 2020).
