QF partner Tamuq produces face shields for QRCS to help in virus fight

Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) will soon have 1,000 critically needed new face shields to protect its volunteers, thanks to the state-of-the-art 3D printing and manufacturing facilities and expertise in the Mechanical Engineering Programme at Texas A&M University at Qatar (Tamuq), a Qatar Foundation (QF) partner university. The first batch of shields was recently delivered to QRCS, whose volunteers need more than just a surgical mask to protect themselves from contracting COVID-19. page 13
