(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha: Qatar Scientific Club, with the support of Oryx GTL, has started the manufacture of six thousand pieces of medical face shield for the medical cadres of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and the staff of Oryx GTL.
The Club will support HMC with five thousand pieces of medical face shield, and the staff of Oryx GTL with one thousand pieces, to help face the risk of infection with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The face shields will be manufactured in the digital manufacturing laboratory (FabLab) at Qatar Scientific Club after they had been tested and approved by Hamad Medical Corporation.
