18-08-2022In Islamabad, the Ministry of National Health Services (NHS) in a landmark development has addressed the plasma farming facilities (PFF) development with the UAE. The report says that UAE aims to conduct a feasibility study to establish PFF, which will be developed according to the World Health Organization WHO. The blood services in Pakistan offered by the hospitals, provide blood banks without functional separation of the plasma processes.
Dr. Hassan Abbas Zaheer, the WHO adviser, shared “Pakistan does not have a single PFF while there are a few hundred thousand patients suffering from immunodeficiency disorder”.
Further, He told the Media, “The term to separate the blood components was called “Plasma Fractionation” as blood was initially divided into three components called Platelets, Red Blood Cells and White Blood Cells which floated in a fluid called plasma”.
