Biomedical Engineering holds a scientific symposium on hemorrhagic fever

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Technology, in cooperation with the Iraqi Red Crescent Organization, held an introductory symposium on the hemorrhagic fever virus and methods of preventing it.

It contained the epidemiological history of the disease in Iraq and the world, the symptoms of the disease, and the types of tests used to diagnose the disease.

The Red Crescent team stated that hemorrhagic fever is a virus that is usually transmitted from infected animals to humans through contaminated blood or meat, and also due to the absence of oversight, weak health precautions and preventive controls in the work of slaughterhouses, and the slaughter of sick animals Without checking and Censorship.

He touched on the most important procedures that must be followed and ways to prevent infection with the virus, and what are the signs, symptoms and causes that may contribute to transmitting the virus to humans while following the correct preventive methods to avoid transmission of the disease, the most important of which is purchasing meat from designated places to avoid transmission of the infection.
