Dr. Marie Tannous of the Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences (FNAS) at the Notre Dame University-Louaize North Lebanon Campus (NDU-NLC), in collaboration with NLC Physician Dr. Roger Issa and Abbott Laboratories, organized on October 28, 2016, a hyperlipidaemia awareness event.
Faculty, staff, and students came to work in the fasted state eager to participate and get tested for triglyceride levels in order to identify whether they had hyperlipidaemia or not. In total, 90 triglyceride tests were performed, and Dr. Issa gave participants medical advice.
NLC had the privilege of collaborating with Abbott Laboratories whose representatives advised our students on the health risks associated with hyperlipidaemia. The University hopes to continue this fruitful collaboration with Abbott Laboratories well into the future.
