Near East University Experimental Health Research Center (DESAM) Institute, NEU3D Laboratory and Günsel Otomotiv started production studies to overcome the demand for the equipment and devices needed to fight with the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the statement made by the Press and Public Relations Directorate of Near East University, the "face shield" designed by the engineers of the NEU3D Laboratory started to be produced after the physician verification, as part of the protection of the health personnel in the front line in the fight against the pandemic.


The biggest difference of the face shield which will be used for individual protection is that this protective equipment, which started to be produced as of today, is produced 50% faster than its counterparts in the production process and that it provides material savings.

In the “face shield” production process, the support capacity of Günsel Otomotiv was also increased and its production capacity was doubled. Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel “We will overcome these difficult days together”

Near East University Chairman of the Board of Trustees Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel pointed out the importance of fighting against the Covid-19 epidemic, which seriously threatens all humanity, and stated that the safety of the health personnel, the pioneers of this struggle, should be best protected. Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel said, “Near East University DESAM Institute and NEU3D Laboratory researchers and Günsel Automotive engineers started to produce some of the equipment needed in the field of health. They are also studying on the production of equipment that can be produced to eliminate the supply problems of other equipment that may be needed. In our fight against the Covid-19 epidemic, which is a serious health problem and declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, we have mobilized all our opportunities. We will overcome this pandemic together.”
