Girishkumar Modi, Consultant licensed Anesthesiology at Tawam hospital and Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Mohammed Medical City at Abu Dhabi Health Services, shared a post on LinkedIn about his recent article, published in Clinical and Biological Transfusion, adding:
“Delighted to share my latest editorial, published in Clinical and Biological Transfusion (Elsevier):
‘Consent is not readiness: Transfusion-service implications of the 2026 Jehovah’s Witness policy change.’
This editorial explores the clinical and practical implications of evolving transfusion policies, highlighting the importance of informed consent, multidisciplinary preparedness, and patient-centred decision-making in ensuring safe and effective care.
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to improving clinical practice and patient safety through my professional journey with SEHA, STMC, and Tawam Hospital.
May this Diwali bring good health, happiness, and new opportunities to all.”
