This is the second of a two-part conversation with Victoria Jaqua and Adam Popanda at Glia, a Canada-based company that develops and manufactures open-source medical devices.
Part one is available here and on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and any other podcast service.
I would like to again share Glia Medical Director Dr. Tarek Loubani’s first-hand accounts of tourniquet deployment in Gaza during the Great March of Return demonstrations in 2018-2019. If you want a comprehensive account of the Gaza tourniquet’s development, that’s where to find it. Dr. Loubani has since wrote about tourniquets in Ukraine.
More information about the Glia Tourniquet Project can be found here on their website. Here you can support their work generally and their specific campaigns in Gaza, Ukraine, Kenya, and Zambia.
