Meet Tarek Loubani, an emergency doctor who has created open-source, 3D printed medical supplies to solve critical shortages in war zones like Gaza and Ukraine.

In this conversation, Tarek shares his journey as a Palestinian refugee - the powerful moments that have shaped the trajectory of his life and inspired his mission to create high quality and open source medical hardware and make it accessible and affordable to those who need it most. Giving us a rare insight into the crisis zones we hear about in the news but rarely have access to on-the-ground stories, this episode is compelling, confronting and incredibly inspiring.
