Developed in the UAE by a team of doctors and researchers at the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center (ADSCC), the treatment involves extracting stem cells from the Covid-19 patient’s own blood and reintroducing them after they have been activated. Successful results have been seen in all 73 patients who were treated and cured of the virus after the stem cell treatment was administered to them.
Through a tweet from the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA), Their Highnesses thanked, on behalf of the people of the UAE, the team and support staff at ADSCC for their contribution and efforts in inventing this promising treatment which will not only aid in safeguarding public health in the UAE but also the world.
