Norway builds home grown lung for polio victims
Facing a costly import bill for chest respirators, Norway organized a national research effort led by the Central Institute for National Research. Scientists designed a cheaper indigenous lung device, cutting costs to one fifth of the imported version. A Norwegian firm began manufacturing, with broader plans to pool scientific talent across industries. The institute relies on a mix of sponsored research and government funding and collaborates with Oslo and Trondheim universities to boost industrial innovation.
