Bahrain hopes to become the first Arab country to manufacture plasma as a sickle cell society plans to pursue the proposal with the government this year.

The nation has sufficient quantity of quality blood, experience, expertise and infrastructure to venture into plasma manufacturing, according to Sickle Cell Anaemia Patient Care Society chairman Zakreya Al Kadhem.

In the plasma manufacturing process, proteins are separated to create a number of plasma protein therapies.

This means patients suffering from cancer, sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia will no longer have to travel abroad. (Shutterstock)
