Our web site
pandemija.info web site is created by numerous volunteers
Our goal is to create a credible repository of useful materials, primarily for medical staff in Croatia. Materials such as new scientific articles, guidelines and recommendations from reputable organizations, and the experiences of colleagues from around the world.
About CroResp
Our team in Croatia has designed a makeshift respirator for medical staff. We call it CroResp.
CroResp is a respirator with eye protection made from a diving mask, adapter and virus filter. The respirator is designed for personal use at the discretion of medical professionals in the case of lack of certified and tested protective equipment.
The Authors of the Project
The respirator with eye protection made from a diving mask, adapters and medical filters for viruses was created by a group of people running the website https://pandemija.info, which is an online database of useful guidelines and educational materials from around the world intended for medical personnel to help them fight the new coronavirus.
The project would not be possible without the work of the company Isinnova from Italy, in collaboration with dr. Renato Favero from the Gardona Val Trompia Hospital and a group at Children’s Hospital in Boston, USA. We are very thankul for their dedicated work and for sharing their innovations for free.
