Dr. Fatima Al-Kaabi, consultant and head of the Hematology and Oncology Department at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, and assistant researcher at the Stem Cell Project:

• Stem cell therapy was tried on 73 patients who had moderate to severe symptoms, and all of them have responded positively to it, which indicates the treatment effectiveness.

• The patients who received stem cells therapy improved faster than those who received the standard treatment only.

• severe patients who received the stem cells treatment spent an average of six days in hospital, which was lower than the 22 days spent when receiving standard treatment.

• Tests confirm that 67% of patients who have received treatment have fully recovered thanks to this innovative treatment that has been used in conjunction with the standard treatment of the disease.
