UNDP AND THE MILLI MAJLIS HOLD SEMINAR ON BLOOD TRANSFUSION LEGISLATION
One of the key activities of the project aims at harmonization of the national legislation in the area of blood transfusion with the internationally acknowledged standards with due consideration of the local realities and formal requirements of the Azerbaijani law.
As a result of this activity, the Legal Framework for Blood Transfusion Service in Azerbaijan was drafted with the support of national experts and the specialists from Price Waterhouse Company in Oslo. The framework is entirely based on Directive 2002/98/EC of the European Union. This Directive is based on recently updated recommendations from international medical committees and proves minimum standards agreed by experts from across Europe.
This seminar is an opportunity to present and to hear opinion of a wide national audience on the proposed legal framework and prospects of law making in the area of blood transfusion.
Members of the Milli Majlis, representatives of the Presidential Office, the Cabinet of Ministers, relevant ministries, and specialists from the blood transfusion service, non-governmental organizations and international organizations will attend the seminar.
