Fighting for Freedom: Medical devices on the front lines
LibrePlanet 2019

Medical devices are expensive and unavailable in many parts of the world despite being essential to care. In this session, Tarek discusses work on the front lines in Gaza to make medical devices accessible by creating free designs and validating them according to medical industry standards. These efforts have been part of a larger initiative to lay a foundation for a post-liberation Gaza in which FLOSS medical devices must compete against proprietary medical devices.
