tailieunhanh - The Blood Cold Chain Guide to the selection and procurement of equipment and accessories

Eating a good and balanced diet is essential to our health and wellbeing, but sitting down to a family or group meal also provides us with an opportunity to socialise. And, since enjoying good food and pleasant company contributes to our psychological wellbeing, group or family mealtimes should be encouraged. Sometimes, particularly if the task of eating is very messy and personal dignity is at stake, the diner may choose to eat alone, with help at hand, if necessary. People who live alone obviously have no choice but to eat alone; and the task of preparing a meal. | The Blood Cold Chain Guide to the selection and procurement of equipment and accessories Department of Blood Safety and Clinical Technology World Health Organization Geneva The Blood Cold Chain Guide to the selection and procurement of equipment and accessories Department of Blood Safety and Clinical Technology World Health Organization Geneva WHO Library Cataloguing-in-Publication Data World Health Organization The blood cold chain guide to the selection and procurement of equipment and accessories. preservation - instrumentation platelets - methods and supplies - standards ISBN 92 4 154579 8 NLM classification WH 460 Acknowledgements The Department of Blood Safety and Clinical Technology acknowledges the continued support of the Government of Luxembourg towards the WHO Blood Cold Chain Project and to the production of these guidelines.
