    Default Doctor in blockaded Gaza makes stethoscope with 3-D printer

    GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP — A Palestinian-Canadian doctor has created a low-cost stethoscope using a 3-D printer, the first in a series of inventions he hopes will help alleviate medical supply

    shortages caused by an eight-year blockade on the Gaza Strip.

    Dr. Tarek Loubani says his stethoscope can be made for just $2.50 — a fraction of the cost of leading brands - and some doctors say the equipment is just as good.

    The shortage of basic medical devices in the isolated Palestinian territory "is something that I think we can translate from a big problem to a big win for us in Gaza," said Loubani, an emergency medicine

    doctor from London, Canada, whose Glia Project aims to provide medical supplies to impoverished places like Gaza.

    Hospitals have been struggling since the militant Hamas group took over the Gaza Strip in 2007 and Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on the territory. The import restrictions have led to shortages of

    medicines and basic supplies like medical consumables and IV bags.
