The Minister of Health Dr. Hamad bin Abdullah Al-Mane has directed all MOH hospitals to provide residents affected with hereditary blood diseases (sickle cell anemia and Mediterranean anemia) the same blood transfusion services provided to citizens. As per the directives of the Minister of Health such services must be provided without requesting the patients or their relatives to compensate for the blood offered to them, said MOH official spokesman Dr. Khalid Al-Marghalani.
