Jehovah's Witnesses leading education drive as hospitals adjust to no blood requests

N Robb. CMAJ. .

Abstract

Jehovah's Witness representatives have visited more than 10 Canadian medical schools and 200 hospitals in an attempt to educate future and practising physicians about nonblood medicine. The trend is becoming more popular since the advent of HIV, and there are now about 100 bloodless medicine and surgery centres around the world, including 52 in the US. However, a Jehovah's Witness spokesman says Canada is "conspicuously absent" from the list of countries that offer bloodless-medicine programs.
