NNA – the airport. The Lebanese engineer Fouad Maksoud arrived at Beirut Rafiq Hariri International Airport after winning the Qatar Foundation-initiated TV show “Stars of Science” in its ninth season. The Lebanese engineer got the highest percentage of vote ever as he invented a device for patients with diabetes and severe burns that provides them with medicine without exposing them to the risk of inflammation or germs.

Maksoud was greeted at the airport by the communication advisor to the Lebanese President Michel Habis, Deputy Prime Minister Health Minister Ghassan Hasbani, Former Minister Nicolas Sahnaoui, his family, friends and AUB students.
