Google Doodle created a doodle to celebrate the life of Lebanese Turkish doctor Saniya Habboub
The doodle commemorates from medical school on June 10, 1931, as Habboub was one of the first female doctors from Lebanon to study medicine abroad in the U.S
In 1926, Habboub was one of the first three students to graduate from the American Junior College for Women in Beirut, going on to study at the American University of Beirut.
Habboub co-founded the Lebanese Red Cross Association, as well as served as a board member for the Muslim Orphan's Home, the Young Women's Muslim Association and Maqassed Hospital.
In 1982, in honour of her devotion to medical services, the Lebanese government awarded her with a Health Medal of Merit, and there's even a street in Beirut named after her.
