Philips Foundation, in collaboration with Philips Middle East strengthen local emergency care facilities
Philips Foundation with Philips Middle East recently announced to provide medical equipment to the Lebanese Red Cross towards the prevention, monitoring and treatment of conditions caused by Covid-19.
The donated equipment is an answer to the critical need to address healthcare challenges in the most affected regions in Lebanon.
Through this contribution, the Lebanese Red Cross is able to equip its centers in Lebanon with mobile tele-ultrasound devices and defibrillators. Ultrasound devices can be used in a variety of environments, including emergency services such as ambulances and makeshift hospitals, to detect and monitor disease progression.
“Pulling together with Philips Middle East and Philips Foundation to make an impact is vital in these unprecedented times,” affirmed Georges Kettaneh, Secretary General, the Lebanese Red Cross.
“At Philips, as a leading health technology company, we see ourselves as a partner, to support health systems and to improve people’s health,” asserted Ozlem Fidanci, CEO, Middle East and Turkey, Philips.
