*Speaker:*

*Dr. Tarek Loubani* is an Associate Professor at the Schulich School of 
Medicine and Dentistry at Western University, and an emergency room 
physician at the London Health Sciences Centre and the Al Shifa Hospital 
in Gaza. He is well-known for his humanitarian work as a field medic in 
Gaza, where he was shot in the leg by the Israeli military in May 2018 
while providing health care for injured Palestinians.
Dr. Loubani has combined his humanitarian efforts and medical expertise 
through the Glia Project, which has developed 3-D print stethoscopes 
that can be made in under 3 hours for less than $3. This project was 
inspired by the shortage of basic medical supplies in Gaza caused by 
Israel's 11 years of illegal blockade. Currently, Dr. Loubani and the 
Glia research team are working on 3-D print tourniquets to help reduce 
deaths related to blood loss in Gaza.
