Zurich, Switzerland:The International Foundation for Patient Blood Management (IFPBM) has officially launched the Chinese (Simplified) language version of its website – www.ifpbm.org.
IFPBM Director, Professor Hans Gombotz,states: “We are very excitedthat the IFPBM website is now available in the Chinese Simplified language. With such a large population and growing hospital system in China, providing the Patient Blood Management resources that IFPBM has online for patients, medical staff and hospital administrators was a logical step.”
IFPBM President, Professor Jochen Erhard, sees this as a big step forward for Patient Blood Management education, stating: “China has a population of over 1.4 billion people and a rapidly expanding health-care system. Having access to IFPBM’s resources in the Chinese language will enable a better understanding of the major benefits of Patient Blood Management, the new standard of care.”
