 A blood donation campaign for patients with thalassemia and hereditary blood disorders, organized by the University - Medical Laboratories Department, in coordination with the Yemeni Society for Thalassemia Patients, and in cooperation with the National Center for Blood Transfusion and Research, the Academic Medical Team, and the University Student Forum, was concluded on Thursday morning on the university campus.

 During the campaign, which lasted for two days, awareness leaflets were distributed about blood donation and its benefits, and the campaign witnessed a large turnout by university employees and students. The number of blood donor cases during the two days exceeded 110 donors.

 This campaign comes within the framework of the efforts made by the university and the Yemeni Thalassemia Patients Association to promote the culture of volunteer work and blood donation among students and employees at the university, and to raise awareness of the importance of donating blood to save the lives of patients.

 It is worth noting that patients with thalassemia and hereditary blood disorders need periodic blood transfusions, due to a defect in the formation of red blood cells, which leads to severe anemia.

 Blood donation campaigns contribute to providing sufficient amounts of blood to patients with thalassemia and hereditary blood disorders, which helps improve their quality of life.
