Mohamed bin Zayed orders payment of treatment cost
ABU DHABI 10 May 2020: His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has ordered payment of all costs related to treatment of critical cases of coronavirus through stem cell therapy.
The initiative comes after the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center (ADSCC), announced development of an innovative and promising treatment for Covid-19 infections using stem cells.
The treatment was administered in the UAE to 73 Covid-19 patients who have all been successfully treated and cured of the virus by inhaling the treatment into their lungs after it has been nebulized into a fine mist.
According to the ADSCC, the new potential therapy is a supportive treatment that rather helps Coronavirus patients overcome the symptoms of the virus. However, it does not kill the virus on its own.
It involves taking a blood sample from the patient with the therapy used to activate these cells so that they can get inhaled back into the lungs.
It is hypothesized to have its therapeutic effect by regenerating lung cells and modulating the immune response to keep it from overreacting to the Covid-19 infection and causing further damage to healthy cells.
The treatment has been given to patients along with the conventional medical intervention and will continue to be applied as an adjunct to established treatment protocols rather than as a replacement.
