Wales - aviation health campaigners urges airlines to provide socks

Wales - MP urges airlines to provide DVT socks:

A sign of times to come? Is the UK a leader in helping to prevent DVT during air travel?

We'll keep you posted.

"WELSH aviation health campaigners have called on airlines to supply flight socks as part of the fight against Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Vale of Glamorgan MP John Smith, who is spearheading the campaign, yesterday welcomed research showing flight socks reduced the risk of DVT by as much as 90%.


'I call on all airlines who take the health and well- being of their passengers seriously, to make flight socks readily available to passengers on long-haul flights as a matter of urgency. Such a measure could potentially save thousands of lives."
