Rana Nofal, 2017 fellow of the Palestinian Territories, was recently named
a finalist for the inaugural Women in Tech Awards. Currently head of the
programming and data department at the Ministry of Health, Rana is being
recognized for her work in health tech that is improving the delivery of
care in her community. Her project, a platform that gives patients the
ability to access all medical staff in her country and assists them with
medical financial assistance, was selected as one of four health tech
finalists.
The mission of Women in Tech is to close the gender gap and help women
embrace technology. Through education, support and advocacy, they
hope to empower women and girls to excel in STEM careers. Award
winners will be selected by an international jury of CEOs, founders and
venture capitalists, and winners will be announced at the first official
Women in Tech Awards in Lisbon, Portugal later this month.
