ABU DHABI // People who suffer from an inherited blood disorder will be offered employment opportunities at World Security, a Dubai-based security solutions provider.
The company signed an agreement with Dubai Health Authority's Thalassemia Centre today with the aim of providing job opportunities for Thalassemics in the UAE.
World Security will ensure a comfortable work environment and an additional two-days off every month so employees can undergo blood transfusions, which are needed every three to four weeks.
Mahmoud Amin, chief executive of World Security, said it will try to provide jobs to as many Thalassemics as possible.
"We are confident that these patients will add to the quality of our workforce and will be able to perform their duties diligently," he said.

TOUCH RULES
Touch is derived from rugby league. Teams consist of up to 14 players with a maximum of six on the field at any time.
Teams can make as many substitutions as they want during the 40 minute matches.
Similar to rugby league, the attacking team has six attempts - or touches - before possession changes over.
A touch is any contact between the player with the ball and a defender, and must be with minimum force.
After a touch the player performs a “roll-ball” - similar to the play-the-ball in league - stepping over or rolling the ball between the feet.
At the roll-ball, the defenders have to retreat a minimum of five metres.
A touchdown is scored when an attacking player places the ball on or over the score-line.
