Bottom reached in restrictive blood transfusion policy The trend in hospitals and guidelines is to be more and more cautious with blood transfusions. Due to side effects associated with blood transfusion and the increasing scarcity and costs of blood products. For example, in recent years the number of patients receiving a transfusion during their ICU admission has halved. Researchers from Amsterdam UMC, in collaboration with eight other Dutch hospitals and funded ZonMW, have shown that being increasingly restrictive in preventive blood transfusion is not, in all cases, understandable. The results of this study are published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Gender Equality is the basis of the future Higher rates of poverty, more mental health problems and more often the victims of violence. Women are also less likely to have access to good quality food and education.

Access to Healthcare is long not an equal playing field While research from Amsterdam UMC has consistently demonstrated that migrants are more likely to have health problems than the ethnic Dutch population, there are still countless problems around the accessibility of health care: in and outside of the Netherlands. Associate professor at Amsterdam UMC, Jeanine Suurmond has spent the last 20 years researching the various barriers to the health care system. Her research shows that these barriers exist at all stages of life: at the end, in the beginning as well as throughout the various screening programmes that we all are subject to throughout our life.
