The Department of Laboratory Medicine at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences at the university organized a blood donation campaign on campus today, Monday, for patients with thalassemia and hemolytic disorders. The campaign was coordinated with the Yemeni Thalassemia Patients Association and in cooperation with the National Center for Blood Transfusion and Research.
The campaign was inaugurated by the university's Secretary-General, Dr. Fouad Ismail Hanash, along with the Dean of the Center for Development and Quality Assurance, Dr. Sharaf Al-Hamdi; the Dean of the College of Administrative and Financial Sciences, Dr. Mohammed Al-Kahali; the Head of the Medical Laboratories Department, Dr. Abdul-Basit Al-Ghouri; Dr. Hafez Al-Noud; a number of department heads; and a number of academic and administrative staff.
During the inauguration, the Secretary-General, Dr. Fouad Ismail Hanash, emphasized the university's continued commitment to supporting such volunteer campaigns, which embody the values of goodness and giving and encourage students and staff at the university to promote the principles of humanitarian assistance and social responsibility. He emphasized the importance of blood donation, as it provides blood units for thalassemia patients, hereditary blood disorders, and other patients who require blood transfusions.
The campaign, which was also implemented in coordination with the academic medical team and the University Student Forum, included screening donors, including staff, faculty members, and students, before they donated, to ensure their bodies were prepared and their eligibility.
During the campaign, awareness brochures about blood donation and its benefits were distributed. The campaign witnessed a large turnout from university members and students, with more than 90 blood donors. The campaign was also accompanied by a charity bazaar, the proceeds of which will benefit patients with thalassemia and hereditary blood disorders.
