Berytech Fab Lab inviting Applications for HealthTech Solutions Initiative – Lebanon

Berytech Fab Lab inviting Applications for HealthTech Solutions Initiative – Lebanon

Deadline: Ongoing

COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-COV-2, is a novel coronavirus that has brought the modern world as we know it to a stop. The capacity of the virus to spread coupled with the governments’ difficulty to test and identify patients allowed the infection to spread to almost every country in the world, including Lebanon. With global death tolls rising and people swarming to find solutions, Berytech Fab Lab has launched the HealthTech Solutions Initiative. This national effort gathers a robust set of volunteers, professionals, and institutions around Lebanon.
