BARZAN HOLDINGS
Providing a lifeline
Answering the call to duty , Barzan Holdings only needed two weeks to shift their production line and start manufacturing life-saving ventilators for the nation .
Amid the coronavirus pandemic , ventilators help ease the pressure on hospitals . They take over the body ’ s breathing process when disease has caused the lungs to fail .
As the global defence and security investment arm of Qatar ’ s Ministry of Defence , Barzan Holdings quickly evolved to meet the demands of the nation . Now producing 8,000 life-saving ventilators a month , Barzan Holdings can supply both local and international markets .
