Urgent call to donate blood for thalassemia and genetic blood disorders and other patients ..!

Thalassemia and genetic blood disorders, cancer patients, kidney failure, and other patients suffer from a lack of blood units, especially rare species as a result of the current conditions that our country is going through due to the Corona pandemic (Covid-19) and most countries of the world – which we ask God Almighty to spare our country this killer disease – as these patients are affected by the state of quarantine or curfew, and here the suffering generally increases due to lack of blood.

Based on that: We address this appeal to all fellow citizens who are able to donate blood, by going to the National Center for Blood Transfusion and its Researches during official working hours from 8:30 in the morning until 11:00 in the afternoon from Saturday to Thursday to donate blood and save the lives of patients ..!
