Warraq
Requested directly by the Information and Archive Department of Mustafa Basha Hospital, Warraq is a specialized library and archival management system. Existing tools were completely unsatisfactory for their unique digitization needs. Warraq was built to catalog, preserve, and locate historical medical assets—including books, discs, journals, and manuscript notes dating back up to 200 years. Designed specifically for non-technical staff, it offers intuitive catalog management, membership tracking, localization, and shelf location tools.
