DUBAI: Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has directed that all treatment costs be covered for critical cases of coronavirus through stem cell therapy.
The directive comes after Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center (ADSCC) announced the development of an innovative and promising treatment for coronavirus infections using stem cells. The medical breakthrough was used for 73 coronavirus patients, who successfully recovered from the virus by inhaling the treatment into their lungs after it has been nebulized into a fine mist.
The ADSCC its discovery was a supportive treatment and does not kill the virus on its own.
