[Carolyn.Chenoweth@FMC-ASIA.COM Subject: Re: Long Sleeves in Clinical Setting – Religious / Cultural Reasons In-Reply-To:]

HI Cath,
I have been working with our dialysis clinics across 11 Asia and Pacific
countries and many different cultures and religions.
Regarding uniforms, we have not had any issues implementing a bare below
elbow policy in the clinical area, from a cultural or religious
perspective.

With best regards

Hi All,
We would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding how this issue is
managed in your facilities.
Long sleeves for religious / cultural reasons is not a common occurrence
in our community.
We have a policy in place which we are about to review.
Many Thanks
