Sharjah: To prevent blood-borne diseases from spreading in neighbouring countries without sufficient knowledge, the Sharjah-based blood transfusion and research services have launched a campaign to educate clinicians on safe transfusion methods.
"It is important for neighbouring countries to know the importance of safe blood transfusions, and the UAE will act as a model for other countries so that they can benefit from our services," said Dr Ameen Al Amiri, assistant undersecretary for blood transfusion and research services at the Ministry of Health.
More than 23 countries from the Eastern Mediterranean and other neighbouring regions, ranging from Afghanistan to Morocco, met at a three-day conference dealing with safe blood transfusion.
The conference highlighted the importance of developing countries gaining proper access to knowledge and techniques.
