Recognizing the need to design and manufacture healthcare technologies locally, and strengthen the Lebanese healthcare system, USEK’s Biomedical Engineering Department has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Phoenix Medical (member of INDEVCO Group) to bring together personnel, technological, and clinical resources.

This MoU is based on the mutual recognition of the importance of research in the field of medical devices and form a nucleus for promoting excellence and professionalism in the field of healthcare technology to ultimately empower the health-tech industry in Lebanon and the region.

As a result of this collaboration, USEK has officially launched the USEK-Phoenix joint medical program entitled “Medical Device Design”, open to all biomedical, electrical, computer, mechanical and telecom engineering students.
