“The team is working with local health specialists, as well as experts from Harvard University, to produce the prototype based on a design by Massachusetts Institute of Technology,” said Roya Mahboob, who runs an Afghan tech company and sponsors the team of five girls, aged 14-17. The girls made headlines in 2017 after being denied visas to take part in a robotics competition in Washington – before President Donald Trump intervened and they were allowed to travel.

“The complicated part is how to adjust the timing and pressure of pumping, as different patients require different volume and pressure of air based on their age and the severity of their condition,” Somaya Farooqi, the team’s 17-year-old captain, told AFP.Wahidullah Mayar, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s health ministry, said officials have asked specialists and engineers to help the team.
